If you wake up tomorrow and you feel you’ve fallen down
You look all around you and see no one’s gonna help you out
You look in the mirror and it’s half past three
In Carolina, you would be here with me
But you’re down and out, you’re down and out
If you wake up tomorrow and you still feel free from sin
You better count all your stones cause I’m sure that you threw one of them
You won’t look in the mirror, afraid what you’ll see
In Carolina, you would not be with me
Cause you’re down and out, you’re down and out
There’s no use talking about it baby
There’s no use talking about it baby
If you wake up tomorrow and the beat won’t pull you through
If you look at your life, twenty eight, and still don’t know what to do
You can pick up your life and head for the city
In Carolina, you will never be free
Cause you’re down and out, you’re down and out
There’s no use talking about it baby
There’s no use talking about it baby
