Lyrics
Sweet demon North Carolina
Gave your daughter to me
She left me on that corner starin'
Knocked the wind outta me
Well dime to a dollar now, and that dollar back to a dime
I'm wonderin' how I been wasting all that precious time
I just been sitting down here on that railway line
Thinkin' about what used to be mine
Girl, I'm just sittin' down here wonderin' why
Just watchin' days like hours all fly on by
I'm just sitting 'round here with my head in my hand,
Wonderin' how many years it's been
Singin'...
Sweet demon North Carolina
Gave your daughter to me
She left me on that corner starin'
Knocked the wind outta me
Well if I'd a known that things woulda ended up this way
I would have never left my happy home anyway
I would've stayed down on my bended knees and prayed
Hopin' I would never see this day
Girl, I'm just sittin' down here wonderin' why
Just watchin' days like hours all click on by
I'm just sitting 'round here with my head in my hand,
Wonderin' how many years it's been
Singin'
Sweet demon North Carolina
Gave your daughter to me
She left me on that corner starin'
Knocked the wind outta me
