Come Back, Carolina

Carolina, I couldn't find you
Dancing to the band out on the back lawn
By the big tree
I thought you might come back to me
But I got so far from who I've been
Found a part of me way up in the city
Guess I miss me
Can you ever really go home again?

Oh come back, Carolina
Remind me what I used to dream
Can I be who I was and still be who I want to be?

Oh, Tennessee, I gotta see you
You know it's been too long
I've been dancing to my own song
You know I used to just sing along
But the river runs through you and me
Muddy water might just wash a man clean
All I'm asking is why can't I be everything?

Oh come back, Tennessee
I gotta find that piece of me
Can I be who I was and still be who I want to be?

'Cause I still long for that perfect summer
And all my heroes are so much taller
Shouldn't I outgrow them by now?

Listen close, grow up strong
But all my dreams were once my father's
Shouldn't I have my own by now?

Oh, Carolina, I couldn't find you
Dancing to the band
Out on the back lawn by the big tree
I thought you might come back to me
But I got so far from who I've been
Found a part of me way up in the city
Now I miss me
Can you ever really go home again?

Oh come back, Carolina
Remind me what I used to dream
Can I be who I was and still be who I want to be?

Oh come back, Tennessee
I gotta find that piece of me
Can I be who I was and still be who I want to be?
