Well I went up to Virginia But the winters were just too, bitter cold And I journeyed down to Florida But the heat and all them gators, got real old But Carolina's the perfect in between She ain't always the prettiest But she's definitely the Queen So Carolina, keep drawin me back home I can always find ya, in my heart wherever I roam Well I went down to Atlanta And got stuck in traffic all day long On my way down to New Orleans But the bourbon only ever did me wrong But Carolina's got everything I need From the mountains, down to the glistening sea So Carolina, keep drawin me back home I can always find ya, in my heart wherever I roam And if I ever think of leaving She keeps pulling on all the strings Think I'll keep this Carolina in my heart above most anything And If I wander away She keeps telling me to stay For at least a little while longer Well I've never been to China But maybe one day I'll see that great big wall And I'll see those Himalayas But man, the blue ridge just beats them all Cause Carolina's a beauty all her own There may be prettier places out there, but none can call my own So Carolina keep drawin me back home I can always find ya, in my heart wherever I roam Carolina, keep drawing me Back, home
