Lauren Lucas - The Carolina Kind Lyrics

He came walkin' out of that Texaco,

George Strait blarin' out of his Silverado.

A fish hook on the bill of his baseball cap:

God, it's good to see a man like that, it takes me back.

'Cause there's just somethin', you know the type:

A southern boy sweet as a Jasmine on a hot, thick summer night.

Kisses that linger a long, long time:

Long after they're gone, they stay on my mind.

Someone my Daddy woulda liked:

The Carolina kind.

I've fallen for a city boy or two.

I've been held in the arms of an Armani suit,

But I've come to learn that ain't me.

No, just gimme a long-haired country boy in his ripped up jeans.

'Cause there's just somethin', you know the type:

A southern boy sweet as a Jasmine on a hot, thick summer night.

Kisses that linger a long, long time:

Long after they're gone, they stay on my mind.

Someone my Daddy woulda liked:

The Carolina kind.

Yeah, I wanna hang out on a tailgate on a Saturday night.

I wanna whsiper that I can't wait to the man I can't deny no more.

There's just somethin', you know the type:

A southern boy sweet as a Jasmine on a hot summer night.

Oh, those kisses that linger a long, long time:

Long after they're gone, they stay on my mind.

Someone my Daddy woulda liked.

Ooh, as gentle as a warm breeze whisperin' through the pines:

That's the Carolina kind.

The Carolina kind.
