Turned off the highway, couldn't tell if it was open
Just a red dirt parking lot and a neon sign that's broken
One quick beer and I'm outta here I got to be on my way
Ten more miles to Raleigh when I saw your face
I didn't have to go too far to find ya
Sitting there in the back of a nowhere bar in Carolina
One look, you took my breath
But you're still stuck inside of my head
Wherever I go I'm not too far
From the back of a nowhere bar
Somethin' ‘bout the sunset, setting down in late September
The air was hot, the beer was cold, I still remember
How we shared some rounds as the night came down, and I swear girl I believed,
That the only people in this world were you and me
I didn't have to go too far to find ya
Sitting there in the back of a nowhere bar in Carolina
One look, you took my breath
But you're still stuck inside of my head
Wherever I go I'm not too far
From the back of a nowhere bar
At closing time you slipped away, all I had was just a name
And a couple empty bottles, but I hope one day that
I won't have to go too far to find ya
Sitting there in the back of a nowhere bar in Carolina
One look, you took my breath
But you're still stuck inside of my head
Wherever I go I'm not too far
From the back of a nowhere bar
From the back of a nowhere bar
Wherever I go I'm not too far
