I Come From North Carolina

From the home of Michael Jordan and Jessie Helms

This is the state that really jams 

Rockin’ the rhyme like a cat and mouse 

We come from trailer parks to the Biltmore House 

We make our own moonshine and homemade wine 

My pickup truck and Carolina on my mind 

The highway patrol rollin’ down 95 

From South of the Border to the V.A. state line 

Basketball and NASCAR rule the day 

With Richard Petty, Dean Smith and Coach K 

For football and hockey the Panthers and Hurricanes 

We kicked the Hornets out to New Orleans 

Hurricane Hugo with the high speed winds 

Roller coaster thunder road at Carowinds 

The final four tobacco road 

Duke and the Tarheels are gonna explode 

The Wright Brothers flying a plane through the air 

Textile mills making underwear 

Andy, Barney and Aunt B 

Mayberry was the place to see 

Gomer, Goober and Floyd cutting hair 

Ernest T brick through the air 

In my mind I’m going to Carolina
