Up on the Roof...

When people from the Carolinas think about the song "Up on the Roof" they think of the Drifters. Yeah they had a hit with it. Carole wrote it. She has written so many cool tunes over the years you just have to look them up. There are tons of great songs in her past...

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)
