Carolina to Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I believe this life we're livin'
Ain't all there is
And there's somethin' better up there
Waitin' after this
I've sat on Sunday mornings
Listened to that preacher preach
And I get what he's sayin'
But man, if you ask me
[Chorus]
You think pearly gates
You think streets of gold
And I think about them long leaf pines
Lined on Tobacco Road
You think skies of blue
You think angels' wings
I think grandpa on an old creek bank
And a Zebco 33
And we all got our own opinions
We all believe what we believe
But everything that's Heaven to you
Is Carolina to me
[Verse 2]
I've already walked with Jesus
Goin' through Kill Devil Hills
And I've talked to God face to face
Sittin' high up in Linville
But if you still want your mansion
And your perfect paradise
Then go on and get yours
And I'll head on back to mine
I believe this life we're livin'
Ain't all there is
And there's somethin' better up there
Waitin' after this
I've sat on Sunday mornings
Listened to that preacher preach
And I get what he's sayin'
But man, if you ask me
[Chorus]
You think pearly gates
You think streets of gold
And I think about them long leaf pines
Lined on Tobacco Road
You think skies of blue
You think angels' wings
I think grandpa on an old creek bank
And a Zebco 33
And we all got our own opinions
We all believe what we believe
But everything that's Heaven to you
Is Carolina to me
[Verse 2]
I've already walked with Jesus
Goin' through Kill Devil Hills
And I've talked to God face to face
Sittin' high up in Linville
But if you still want your mansion
And your perfect paradise
Then go on and get yours
And I'll head on back to mine
[Chorus]
You think pearly gates
You think streets of gold
And I think about them long leaf pines
Lined on Tobacco Road
You think skies of blue
You think angels' wings
I think wild horses on the Outer Banks
Runnin' up and down the beach
And we all got our own opinions
We all believe what we believe
But everything that's Heaven to you
Is Carolina to me
[Bridge]
Well, if you still want your mansion
And your perfect paradise
Then go on and get yours
And I'll head on back to mine
[Chorus]
You think pearly gates
You think streets of gold
And I think about them long leaf pines
Lined on Tobacco Road
You think skies of blue
You think angels' wings
And I think about ol' Andy Griffith
Whistlin' on TV
And we all got our own opinions
We all believe what we believe
But everything that's Heaven to you
Is Carolina to me
Is Carolina to me
You think pearly gates
You think streets of gold
And I think about them long leaf pines
Lined on Tobacco Road
You think skies of blue
You think angels' wings
I think wild horses on the Outer Banks
Runnin' up and down the beach
And we all got our own opinions
We all believe what we believe
But everything that's Heaven to you
Is Carolina to me
[Bridge]
Well, if you still want your mansion
And your perfect paradise
Then go on and get yours
And I'll head on back to mine
[Chorus]
You think pearly gates
You think streets of gold
And I think about them long leaf pines
Lined on Tobacco Road
You think skies of blue
You think angels' wings
And I think about ol' Andy Griffith
Whistlin' on TV
And we all got our own opinions
We all believe what we believe
But everything that's Heaven to you
Is Carolina to me
Is Carolina to me

What did Scotty McCreery say about "Carolina to Me"?
Genius Answer
My drummer always jokes with me and is like, ‘Man, when you retire one day you should go work for North Carolina tourism, because you love it so much. Jeremy Bussey and Taylor Phillips had the idea and I came in and kind of helped them. Taylor is from Sanford, North Carolina, right down the road from Garner where I grew up… It’s no secret if you follow me, you know I love [Carolina]. It’s a piece of heaven on earth to me.
