carolina i hear you calling

Charlie Daniels Band

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
