I seen me a lotta big cities I been in a lotta fine towns
I laid down my head on a lotta good beds and done a lotta bummin' around
I met me a lotta good people I got friends all over this world
Manys a day I draw my pay and find my pockets full

But you know I still miss my Carolina home
The friends and the people and the roads I used to roam
So every chance that I find my lonely troubled mind
Takes me back to my Carolina home

[ steel ]
Well I got me a place in the country I love my liitle kids and my wife
I just about got it worked out to where I got a pretty good life
But whenever I take to that highway there's one thing I want you to know
I look for the sign that says Caroline the place I'm a longin' to go

You know I still miss my Carolina home...
Take me back to my Carolina Home
