There's a cabin in a valley My grandpa built on your land Your mountains are a canvas For the makers hand Tonight I'm fishing Elk River If only in my mind No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time I carry you in my heart Your memory comes over me like the dark Like a phone call from my baby Saying' honey I miss ya like crazy Like the sound of a siren song Oh Carolina, ya keep calling me home Keep calling me home Sometimes I grow weary From going' all the time I love to take a minute Let you ease my mind I'd love to see my mama Maybe go for a drive But I got to play the star in some little town again tonight Don't get me wrong I love what I do It's just another song about missing you Like a phone call from my baby Saying honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy Oh Carolina like the siren song Oh Carolina Keep calling me home Keep calling me home Keep calling me home Like a phone call from my baby Saying honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy Carolina like the siren song Oh Carolina Keep calling me home Keep calling me home Oh Carolina Keep calling me home Keep calling me home Keep calling me home Keep calling me home Keep calling me home Keep calling me home
