Just another girl with a dream and a heart
Wanna make a new start with the fire inside of her
She had to go
She couldn't stay around, everybody let her down
Stole the light and the life and the child inside of her
She's so alone
Runnin' for the train,
take her far away from everything she knows
And the way they make her feel, she leaves today
Never look back,
never lose track,
already strong
She's seen too much at seventeen,
the past will fade
With the future that she craves
Carolina,
you've traveled so far
Trying to escape the pain,
to start again where you are
Carolina,
you keep
following your star Nobody said you're beautiful,
you're beautiful the way you are
Be free,
be where you long to be,
but it won't take long till it's reality
The streets are cold Big bad city gonna eat you up
Hard to survive,
hard to keep your sanity Still feeling low
But she's never going home Carolina,
you've traveled so far
Trying to escape the pain,
to start again where you are
Carolina,
you keep following your star Nobody said you're beautiful,
you're beautiful the way you are
Beautiful, beautiful,
you're beautiful,
beautiful Beautiful,
beautiful,
you're beautiful, beautiful
