Goodbye, goodbye to Carolina

Maybe I'm done calling you home

And now the car is barely driving

Take me far enough to get me gone



When I'm gone and my baby's crying

The balcony looks pretty good with my state flag

flying

When I'm gone, I'm never coming back

In Tennessee, you and me ain't got nothing in common



So long, So long to California

The city sleeps and sees straight through me

I think my heart is somewhere in Chicago

I'll stay right here until you call



The better me is waiting here, hoping that you'll grow

up.
