Rhett Akins - Carolina Line
Intro:   D    D/F#    G    Asus  A  
DI guess she caD/F#ught that plane eGarly this morning
'cause heBmr I've-decided-to-sAtay call never cGame
Dand right about D/F#now lord shGe's nearly back to Asheville
EmI'm staring out at a south Georgia rAsusainA  
wondering Gif I'll ever touch her aAsusgainA  
Chorus:
If there were oBmnly miles beAtween us
I'd be tGhere in a good day's drive
but the lBmast time I hAeld her
I saw the Gdistance in her AsuseyesA  
she once cGrossed the Blue Ridge AMountains
and Bmswore that Ashe'd be miGne
D/F#but she Gnever brought her heart acrosAsuss the ACarolina liDneD/F#  G  Asus  A  
She always said this place felt just like home
but there were memories she never did unpack
and even in my arms holding me close
she never let go of the past
or the one who kept calling her back
Chorus:
If there were only miles between us
I'd be there in a good day's drive
but the last time I held her
I saw the distance in her eyes
she must've missed those Blue Ridge Mountains
or someone she left behind                      
'cause I never got her heart across the Carolina line
Instrumental
When she crossed the Blue Ridge mountains
and left me here behind
Lord knows she took my heart across that Carolina line
