Ballad of M.T.B. - The Marshall Tucker Band

They got their name

From an old key chain

Left lyin' on the floor

They said it came

From an old man that played

You know we opened up the door

So they took off on their own

And they left their families home

Takin' it day by day

And they spend most of their time

Writin' songs 'bout Caroline

They gonna make it, one day

The years, they passed

And the songs, went by

Like travelin' through those blue ridge mountain skies

All the years today have all gone by

You can still see it in their eyes

So they played from Caroline

To the coast of California

Workin' every day

Makin' all their dreams come true

Brought the music back to you

You know they made it there this way

Wasn’t that long ago

Seems to me

The long hard ride is over now

Can’t you see

Can’t you see

So they played from Caroline

To the coast of California

Workin' every day

Makin' all their dreams come true

Brought the music back to you

You know they made it there this way

So they played from Caroline

To the coast of California

Workin' every day

Makin' all their dreams come true

Brought the music back to you

You know they made it there this way
