Charlie Daniels Band - Carolina (I hear you calling) lyrics

When it's Christmas time in Carolina The kinfolks gather up at Grandma's house And they fill the house with love And they honor God above They remember what the season's all about It's been ten long years since I've been there with them And I can't face another holiday alone And tonight I'm going back And if this train don't jump the track I'll spend Christmas Eve with all the folks at home Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair When I left my home in Carolina I never thought that things would get this far I was only seventeen when I struck out for New Orleans Trying to do or die on my guitar Well I always thought someday I'd be returning But I kept drifting with that same old traveling wind Can I still call you home or have I stayed away too long Carolina would you have me back again Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair (Carolina) Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair I can almost touch the mountains in your hair
