I've been looking at the wrong ocean Carolina's been good to me I've been looking at the wrong ocean California's where I wanna be Twenty years of the same sunrise My southern roots have just been holding me down I want to free fall over Mulholland I'm where the Eagles met Jaskon Brown Sit and watch the sun go down 'Cause I've been looking at the wrong ocean Carolina's been good to me But I've been looking at the wrong ocean California's where I wanna be From the outer banks, to the city of angels One room apartment on the boulevard Fifth show at the Troubadour and it's standing room only An A&R man with a business card Says I'm gonna be a star 'Cause I've been looking at the wrong ocean Only so many smiles I can fake in a row So many friends that I really don't know Blue Devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear Look homeward angel what you doing out here It's been a long three years And I've been looking at the wrong ocean California's been good to me But I've been looking at the wrong ocean Carolina's where I'm meant to be Carolina's still home to me Ohh Ohh I'm coming home (Ohh) I'm coming home Carolina
