  • Carolina moon, lazy ol' River
    Time keeps floatin' On By
    Moss hanging from an oak tree
    Baby it's just you and me
    Sure makes one beautiful sight
    We got postcard views
    Curled up in this rocking chair
    Feel like I ought tip my hat
    To the man up stairs

    Leavin' the light on
    Leavin' the light on
    Burning the whole night through
    Leavin' the light on
    Leavin' the light on
    So I can look at you

    Your pretty brown eyes
    Your legs that go forever
    Still can't believe you're mine
    Come on baby lets take a walk
    Follow the path down to that old dock

    And bring along that bottle of wine
    That old moon's so bright
    Just hang in' up there
    Feel like I ought count' my blessings
    And thank the man upstairs for

    Leavin' the light on
    Leavin' the light on
    Burning the whole night through
    Leavin' the light on
    Leavin' the light on
    So I can look at you

    It's getting kinda late girl
    Lets go back to the house
    I wanna watch you from my pillow
    Til morning rolls around so I'm

    Leavin' the light on
    Leavin' the light on
    Burning the whole night through
    Leavin' the light on
    Leavin' the light on
    So I can, So I can see you
    Oh I wanna look at you o so I'm
    I'm leavin' the light on
    Leavin' the light on
    Oh it's burnin', oh it's burnin' through
    Oh, it's burnin' through yeah

    I'm leavin' the light on
    I'm leavin' the light on
    So I can look at you Writer/s: DARIUS RUCKER, DAVID MURPHY, PHILIP EUGENE O'DONNELL
