From the recording All She Ever Wants (rockish version)
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Here is Rob Bartley’s and Gary LaPlant’s version which I like just as much as the bluegrass cut. (See the “COUNTRY(ISH)” category.)</span></p>

Lyrics
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to walk in the morning </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> and listen to the sounds at the sun’s first rays.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to lie down beside me</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> at the close of the day.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever needs is a gentle word, a reminder that</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> everything’s OK.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can’t be more at ease than Caroline.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can’t live more at peace than Caroline</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> ‘Cause Caroline has all she ever, all she ever wants.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">I could make a list that would go on forever</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> of everything I think that the world owes me.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">I easily forget ‘tis a gift to be simple</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> ‘tis a gift to be free.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">But Caroline reminds me that even in the common pleasures</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> I can find a jubilee.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can’t be more at ease than Caroline.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can’t live more at peace than Caroline</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> ‘Cause Caroline has all she ever, all she ever wants.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">When I first met Caroline, she was a puppy just three months old</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">Stumbling ‘round her big new world -- </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> couldn’t even do what she was </span></span><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">told.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">Now when I’m with Caroline, school’s in session, but look who is</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">teaching whom a lesson!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to ride by the window</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> open to the highway and a stiff cool breeze.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever wants is to run with that collie</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> who lives down our street.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">All she ever needs is for me to pat her on the head</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> and fix her something fine to eat.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can’t be more at ease than Caroline.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">You can’t live more at peace than Caroline</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;"> ‘Cause Caroline has all she ever, all she ever wants.</span></span></p>
