Home is where my heart is still beating I don't know when i'll see her again I hate to see her cry when I'm leaving Now I'm a thousand miles away again As she feels like Carolina Looks like California Shining like those New York lights on Broadway When she looks back I'm behind her I'll always be there for her She makes me feel like home's not so far away She feels like Carolina It's hard to understand the way I'm living And I know you think I'm never coming home (never coming home) But I miss your pretty smile, and I'm coming back in a little while But I'm a thousand miles away again As she feels like Carolina Looks like California Shining like those New York lights on Broadway When she looks back I'm behind her I'll always be there for her She makes me feel like home's not so far away No matter how far I go, you know I can't stop thinking about her And there's nothing like the way I feel, the way I feel when I'm beside her Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh She feels like Carolina Looks like California Shining like those New York lights on Broadway When she looks back I'm behind her I'll always be there for her She makes me feel like home's not so far away Carolina California Like home's not so far away She feels like Carolina Looks like California She makes me feel like home's not so far away She makes me feel like homes not (so far away)
