I had a East Carolina Woman, I will not call her name

But I broke her heart, just my self to blame

She loved me so, wouldn't take for no one else

I was started to running, not from her, but from myself

She cried that morning, she begged me to stay

But I had made up my mind, and I would not change my ways

I ran from woman to woman, I ran from town to town

You can't run from yourself, one day you'll stop, then you're found

I had a East Carolina Woman, I will not call her name

But I broke her heart, just my self to blame
