The first things I remember are frosty Carolina mornings with a cheery fire crackling in my mommas big black wood cook stove I remember snow flakes as big as goose feathers and the moon the color of new made country butter and a night sky like diamonds against black velvet reaching from horizon to horizon I remember when the biggest problems in my barefoot life were sand spurs and red ant hills I remember sitting with my grand daddy on the front porch and watching the last of that magnificent southern sun bleed away into the twilight sky I remember sunday school and kneeling at the cross and trying to imagine what God looked like sunday dinner short pants hair cuts and a little puppy my daddy brought home to me and I remember love I remember steam puffing fire breathing awesome 10 wheel locomotives and the conductors watch looked as big as one of my grand mothers biscuits I remember my mother smiling in a red and white cherckered dress and christmas always seemed so far away yes I remember you Carolina grand old lady if the south I remember you as homeOne of the memories that stays on my mindLetras de cancionesabout an old southern lady that I left behindis a ramshackle bridge where the deep river windsand an old two-lane blacktop through the tall long-leaf pinesCarolina, CarolinaYou're hard but you're hard to forgetI still remember the magnolia nightsand goosefeather snow flakes in the gray morning lightsandspurs and puppies and red autumn leavesand the warm lights in the clear night on a cold Christmas EveCarolina, CarolinaYou're hard but you're hard to forgetCarolina I knew youbefore the highways got to youand I loved you as one of your ownand I still doCarolina, CarolinaYou're hard but you're hard to forgetYou're hard To Forget From Letras Mania
