I'm going to Wilmington Wilmington by the sea North Carolina baby calling me I blew my mind out Out in the big city I'm going to clean out in a small town by the sea I met a girl with long black hair And she helped me lose it She helped me lose all my despair I'm going to Wilmington It's where I left my heart Inside a skeleton at the Barbary Coast Do you know that Bar Down by the Cape Fear River We watched the bridge lights gleam The water calm and black as it slowly meets the sea She picked the best song on the box Yeah she knows her music Yeah she knows what truly rocks I'm going to Wilmington That's now where I belong I'm going to Wilmington Gonna write me brand new song I'm going to Wilmington Wilmington by the sea North Carolina baby Calling Calling Me
