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 and 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 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 like crazy Like the sound of a siren song Oh Carolina, ya keep calling me home Calling' me home Calling me home Calling me home Oh, oh, we're almost home Like a phone call from my baby Saying honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy Just like the song of a siren song Oh Carolina Carolina Carolina Keep calling me home Calling me home Calling me home Calling me home Carolina Carolina Keep calling me home
