Watchin' all the traffic out on A1A
The snowbirds are flyin' home
From the winter holiday
The sun is shining bright
but I can smell the rain
They're boarding up the windows
from Key Largo to Key Biscayne
You drove with your girlfriends
down from Chapel Hill
Looking for the warm tradewinds
Searching for a Spring Break thrill
I was just a local boy
My heart and soul was the sea
I was mending my fishing nets
Looked up and you were looking at me
Carolina blue
bluest blue I ever knew
It's true
I know what's wrong with this picture
What's wrong with this view
it's missing you
I'm looking at a torquoise sea Carolina blue
Islamirada used to be my paradise
Laying on the beach with you close by my side
But that was yesterday and yeasterday's gone
Now i'm walkin' this sand alone
And you're back in your mountain home
Carolina blue
bluest blue I ever knew
It's true
I know what's wrong with this picture
What's wrong with this view
it's missing you
I'm looking at a torquoise sea Carolina blue
Carolina blue
bluest blue I ever knew
It's true
I know what's wrong with this picture
What's wrong with this view
it's missing you
I'm looking at a torquoise sea Carolina blue
Carolina blue
bluest blue I ever knew
