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
