Rick Hart & The Sweet Addictions - Carrollton

from Levon Helm by Rick Hart

/

about

Recorded live with The Sweet Addictions at RPP FM as part of Mark Mayle's Sunday Sessions in September 2015. The song itself was written by Rick for his family and friends in Carrollton, Texas in commemoration of his visit in 2014.

lyrics

There’s a nail in my tyre and it’s fast losing air
And I’ve little or no faith in the life of my spare
Now I hope that the next town brings somewhere to sleep
‘Cause my eyes have grown heavy and I’m struggling to keep them open
It’s just before midnight on the interstate line
Still sipping that coffee I bought around nine
Tried to turn on the radio to find company
But the silence it offers doesn’t do much for me, it’s broken

Heading back to Carrollton USA
Where the girl I love is waiting
and it’s so god damn frustrating to be away
Now there’s only so long one little heart can ache
And I long to be by her side when morning light hits Carrollton USA

By the time that I get home it’ll be around eight
And she’ll watch through the window as I rush through the gate
And though I’ll be tired with my last ounce of strength
I hold her so tightly and kiss her at length, and then fall

Repeat Chorus

Yeah I long to be by her side when morning light hits Carrollton USA
