CAROLINA - THE LOCAL SOVEREIGNTY SONG (WORDS AND MUSIC B. HAIZLIP)
WELL I WAS BORN HERE DOWN IN CAROLINA
THOUGHT OF THE SOUTH WITH A TWINKLE IN MY EYE
ALWAYS TOOK PRIDE IN MY HERITAGE
ALWAYS TAUGHT TO HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH
WELL SON YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR MOUTH NOW
WHEN THE NORTHERN MAN COMES WE'VE GOT TO SET IT ASIDE
FOR OUR CAUSE IS LONG FORGOTTEN AND NOW YOU'VE GOTTA HOLD THAT PRIDE INSIDE
SAID HOLD IT INSIDE!
WELL I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF THAT NOW
IN FACT IT MADE ME QUESTION MUCH, MUCH MORE
AND THEN I STARTED THINKING; "WELL WHAT IS THAT FIRST AMENDMENT FOR?"
(REPEAT SECOND VERSE)
