Carolina in the Pines - The Petersens (LIVE)

"Carolina in the Pines" was written and recorded by Michael Martin Murphey, but growing up in the bluegrass world, we've always loved the Special Consensus version. This is one of our favorite bluegrass songs and we have been taking it in and out of our show rotation for years now! Hope y'all are staying safe and enjoy it!

►LYRICS - Carolina in the Pines
She came to me, said she knew me
Said she'd known me a long time
And she talked of being in love
With every mountain she had climbed

And she talked of trails we walked up
Far above the timberline
From that night on I knew I'd write a song
With Carolina in the pines

There's a full moon on the fourteenth
First quarter, the twenty first
And a full moon in the last week
Brings a fullness to the earth

There's no guesswork in the clockwork
Of the world's heart or mind
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines

As the frost grows on the windows
The wood stove it smokes and glows
As the fire grows we can warm our souls
Making rainbows in the coals

And we talked of trails we walked up
Far above the timberline
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines
