GWell, I'm makin' my way up the coast
Emto see the one I love the most
CIt's a short day in September when I Dgo
GAnd I wonder if he's still the same
EmLike the way his mouth fits around my name
CI guess there's only one sure way to Dknow
CSo you can have your California,
EmNew York's nice but I can't stay
CSend my love to Carolina
Embut it's just too far aDway
EmI am headed for my lCove, I've gotta Emgo
EmI am hCeaded for my Dhome in OGhio
GI was tired of that same-old-same
EmSo I chased down my fifteen of fame
CAnd I kissed goodbye the boy that I called hDome
GThen I changed in ways I can't express
EmI forgot that boy I love the best 
CIs keepin' from feeling so alDone
CSo you can have your California,
EmNew York's nice but I can't stay
CSend my love to Carolina
Embut it's just too far aDway
EmI am headed for my lCove, I've gotta Emgo
EmI am hCeaded for my Dhome in OGhio
GSo I pick up that rock and swipe it clean
EmNow I'm only sayin' what I mean
CAnd I'm telling him I'm sorry for my loDss
GAnd the moment that I see his face
EmI'll know if this is still my place
COr if I've been away for far too Dlong
CSo you can have your California,
EmNew York's nice but I can't stay
CSend my love to Carolina
Embut it's just too far aDway
EmI am headed for my lCove, I've gotta Emgo
EmI am hCeaded for my Dhome in OGhio
EmI am headed for my lCove, I've gotta Emgo
EmI am hCeaded for my Dhome in OGhio
