Capo 2nd

Little roadside restaurant we artfully complain
Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain
Most every day goes by according to design
I live this dream and still it seems I have you on my mind
[Chorus:]
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won t come down
We can decorate or climb
Or find some way to get around
Cause I m still on your side
From the bottom of my heart.
(HOLD)
I can t see the future but I know it s coming fast
It s not that hard to wind up knee-deep in the past
There come alot of Mondays since that phone booth that first night
Tears and miles and years and smiles I wanna get it right
.
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won t come down
We can decorate or climb
Or find some way to get around
Cause I m still on your side
From the bottom of my heart.
[Music Bridge]
These days I get up about the time I used to go to bed
Living large was once the deal now I watch the stars instead
They re timeless and predictable unlike most things that I do
I tell the wind and my old friend I m headed home to you.
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won t come down
We can decorate or climb
Or find some way to get around
Cause I m still on your side
From the bottom of my heart.
