Last night I thought I heard the screen door slam and I thought about it
You'd run away and break my heart again, so I'm moving on
And driving downtown to a bottle and flashing lights
Where I'll meet a nice girl, she'll invite me to come inside
And she'll ask me, she'll ask me, she'll ask if I'm alright
But I'm not
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
No, no, no
Five years ago, I thought I found my wife
And I still believe it
But my time with you has been an uphill climb
Like when you hike your skirt up when you're standing in a service line
Or how your ring slips off after one too many glasses of wine
And you ask me, you ask me, you ask me to be kind
When I say,
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
And all the days I spent in Georgia
And all the guys I fought off for ya
Just to hold your hand
Without a back-up plan
For when a better man comes calling
And I'll say,
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find
It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, and I can't keep waiting for ya
Ooh, ooh, Caroline, and I can't keep waiting for ya
Cause it's all the time, and I can't keep waiting for ya
