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
