Lyrics: Verse 1: Woke up to the city's hum, concrete beneath my feet But my heart's in Carolina, where the air is soft and sweet Magnolia whispers on the breeze, moonlight through the pines Every night I close my eyes, I'm back home in my mind Chorus: Carolina's calling, hear her on the wind From the Smoky Mountains down to the sea again No matter where I wander, no matter where I've been Carolina's calling, calling me back home again Verse 2: City lights can't match the stars that used to guide my way Neon signs and crowded streets just lead my heart astray I miss the sound of crickets and the river's gentle song In Carolina's embrace is where my soul belongs Chorus: Carolina's calling, hear her on the wind From the Smoky Mountains down to the sea again No matter where I wander, no matter where I've been Carolina's calling, calling me back home again Bridge: Pack my bags at morning light, chase the southern sky Follow the horizon where my heart can fly Chorus: Carolina's calling, feel it in my bones Time to heed the whisper, time to journey home No matter where I wander, no matter where I've been Carolina's calling, calling me back home again
