(Verse 1)

November's almost over,
The gentle winter's on the way
Still I sit here on this balcony,
And smoke my brain away,
Waiting on that phone to ring
Wondering which day that it will be

(Chorus)

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

(Verse 2)

Oh you were just a young girl,
And I swore I could change
Every day that you forgive me,
Is just another one you'll waste
You came here in search of something true
I hope like hell
Your searching isn't through

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

It's hard to think that everything around her
To know that won't be happy ever after

(Repeat Chorus x2)
