Hearts, Stars, and Horseshoes

so you're off to chase your sunsets.
but your sun's gone down.
carolina never stays this cold,
or never in this town.

and we sang so long sweet summer.

the next time you're here, beautiful,
your cradle won't fall.
the temperature is rising now.

and we sang so long sweet summer

these nights in carolina seem to get so cold
and these nights alone without you,
they're getting old
so while you're off chasing sunsets
far from home,
i hope you find the picture for which you long
and maybe you won't regret it when it's said and done

and we sang so long sweet summer
