November's almost over Gentle winter's on the way Still I sit here on this balcony Smoke my brain away Waiting on that phone to ring Wondering which day that it will be Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri Oh, you were just a young girl And I swore I could change Everyday that you forgive me Is just another one you'll waste You came here in search of something true Looks like, girl, your searching isn't through Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri It's hard to think that everything around her To know that won't be happy ever after Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong Leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri Here in Missouri, Missouri, Missouri
