Statesville

I stopped in Statesville for you
When I could’ve driven straight though
But the call from the exit was loud and I gave in
Too proud to be scared by the boo
I stopped in Statesville for you
Where they tore down the high school last year
And the line between fiction and fact isn’t clear
Someone told me old Dooley was hung on the hill
You can’t always believe what you hear
They tore down the high school last year
I’ve always had reason to roam
If we’d ver met then you would’v known
But my plan for this trip was in three
Stand up, smile and leave Carolina alone
Leave Carolina alone
But I stopped in Statesville for you
When i should’ve driven straight through
But the call from the exit was loud and I gave in
Too proud to be scared by the boo
I stopped in Statesville for you
