Take me home to carolina

I don't wanna be here anymore

I'm tired of all these buildings

And the people that fill their hollow floors.

They are all full of opinions

They tell me that they know wrong from right

They love to leave you when you're down

But want to hitch a ride when you take flight.

It's a bitter world in this city

'round here they beat you to the core

So take me home to carolina

I don't wanna be here anymore.

Take these gold plaques off the sheetrock

Give all my guitars away

I'm tired of pouring out my soul for songs that they don't wanna play

I know I'm just getting started in this godforsaken war

But take me home to carolina

I don't wanna be here anymore.

And give away all the money

No, it doesn't do a thing

It just keeps you tangled up inside this city's lonely game

It ain't worth all the heartache

Some like I've never felt before

Take me home to carolina

I don't wanna be here anymore.

Take your suits and take your contracts

Take all of it away

I know I'll find myself again if I just left this place

I hate feeling like I'm someone

That I've never been before

Take me home to carolina

I don't wanna be here anymore.

I hate feeling like I'm someone

That I've never been before

Take me home to carolina

I don't wanna be here anymore.
