There's a cabin in a valley
My grandpa built on your land
Your mountains are a canvas for the makers hand
Tonight I'm fishing Elk River
If only in my mind
No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time
I carry you in my heart
Your memory comes over me like the dark and

Like a phone call from my baby
Saying 'honey, I miss you like crazy'
Like a sound of a siren song
Oh, Carolina, you keep calling me home
Calling me home

Sometimes I grow weary from going all the time
I'd love to take a minute let you ease my mind
I'd love to see my mama, maybe go for a drive
But I got to play the star in some little town again tonight
Don't get me wrong, I love what I do
It's just another song about missing you

Like a phone call from my baby
Saying 'honey, I miss you like crazy'
Kinda like a siren song
Oh, Carolina, you keep calling me home
Calling me home, calling me home
Calling me home
Oh, I'm almost home

Like a phone call from my baby
Saying 'honey, I miss you, I miss you like crazy'
Just like a sound of a siren song
Oh, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina, you keep calling me home 
Calling me home, calling me home
Calling me home

Carolina, Carolina, you keep calling me home
