April lay in your hands 
the sign of rain for the year 
you knew the time had come at last 
your heart no longer called you here 

oh, carolina, something's wrong 
you've lost the wind in your sails 
and now you float to a land 
and you pray the ground will not fail 

'cause everybody had one good year 
everybody let their long hair down 
everybody had one bad dream 
everybody saw the bright sun shine 
everybody had one hard time 
everybody had a real good time 
everybody pulled one sock up 
everybody put one foot down 

you could say that this is fate 
that left you alone standing here 
it's like you've traded the world for 
a chance, a ship to steer 
you face the mirror on the wall 
you hold a knife to your hair 
you fill the sink with your curls 
for the life you a have spread 

'cause everybody had one good year..
