[verse 1]
he said he’d take me to carolina
where the air is warm and the trees are green
he said ”baby i’ll treat you kinder than anyone you’ve ever seen”
and i had just turned 16
so he got a beat up eldorado
and we’re all south down 95
he drove barefoot with a bottle of jack daniels between his thighs
he had the bluest eyes

[chorus]
mama there’s a catch in at the road
somethings tugging at my sleeve
when you told me to wear love like an ovеrcoat
i covered myself in bеlief
but you never told me about grief

[verse 2]
six months later down in richmond
six months pregnant and six months gone
he wrapped himself in his addiction
i wrapped a bandaid around my arm
while i wore forgiveness like a charm
and then one night like a locomotive
he comes [?] into the bed
sting of whiskey and frustration
and the demons throbbing around his head
and it was over
he said he wished he was gone
[chorus]
mama there’s a catch in at the road
somethings tugging at my sleeve
when you told me to wear love like an overcoat
i shrouded myself in belief
but you never told me about grief
you never told me i’d cut deep

[verse 3]
so i never made it to carolina
but the air is warm here, the trees are green
and mommy the angels they treat me kinder
than anyone i’ve ever seen
tomorrow i would’ve been eighteen
so i looked down on the great green valley
i reach my hand to the big blue earth
i say a prayer for the weak and hungry
every year, for what it’s worth

[chorus]
mama there’s a catch in at the road
and a baby tugging at my sleeve
and i still wear love like an overcoat
cause mama i got to believe
cause now i know about grieving
now i know about leaving
he said he’d take me to carolina
