Goodbye, goodbye to Carolina
Maybe I'm done calling you home
And now the car is barely driving
Take me far enough to get me gone

When I'm gone and my baby's crying
The balcony looks pretty good with my state flag
Flying
When I'm gone, I'm never coming back
In Tennessee, you and me ain't got nothing in common

So long, So long to California
The city sleeps and sees straight through me
I think my heart is somewhere in Chicago
I'll stay right here until you call

The better me is waiting here, hoping that you'll grow
Up
