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
