I had an East Carolina woman, will not call her name
I had an East Carolina woman, will not call her name
Oh yes, I broke her heart, just myself to blame
You know she loved me so, she wouldn't take from nobody else
Yes, she loved me so, wouldn't take from nobody else
But I started off running, you know, not from her but from myself
I remember she cried that morning as she begged me to stay
I heard her cry that morning, she begged me to stay
But I made up my mind, would not change my ways
I run from woman to woman, I run from town to town
I run from woman to woman, Danny, whoo, I was in town after town
I learned you can't run from yourself, one day you stop and you found
I had an East Carolina woman, will not call her name
I had an East Carolina woman, will not call her name
But I broke her heart, just myself to blame
You know, you know I broke her heart, just myself to blame
I had an East Carolina woman, will not call her name
