CAROLINE

Wild eyed Caroline
Crazy as hell
Right room number at the wrong hotel

She had the longest hair I'd ever seen
And I was only seventeen
Worked the beer and soda aisle
She was a hippie gypsy child
Fireflies and moon glow
I heard tapping on my window
And with the right kind of crazy
She opened up the world for me

Me and wild eyed Caroline
Crazy as hell
Right room number at the wrong hotel
But I did love her
I guess I always will
Right room number at the wrong hotel

It was poetry and all night long
She could sing a Joni Mitchell song
With all the ambiance and most of the charm
I slept thru every alarm

I wonder where she is today
Thought I heard her singing in the subway
Couldn't deal with our ways down here
Danced herself into the stratosphere

Me and wild eyed Caroline
Crazy as hell
Right room number at the wrong hotel
But I did love her
I guess I always will
We had the right room number at the wrong hotel

Sometimes I wonder where it all went wrong
We thought the world belonged to the dreamers
You tried so hard but you fell in
With the dealers and the schemers

Wild eyed Caroline
Crazy as hell
Right room number wrong hotel
But I did love her
I guess I always will
We had the right room number at the wrong hotel
