Well, I'm makin' my way up the coast
[Em]to see the one I love the most
[C]It's a short day in September when I [D]go
[G]And I wonder if he's still the same
[Em]Like the way his mouth fits around my name
[C]I guess there's only one sure way to [D]know
[C]So you can have your California,
[Em]New York's nice but I can't stay
[C]Send my love to Carolina
[Em]but it's just too far a[D]way
[Em]I am headed for my l[C]ove, I've gotta [Em]go
[Em]I am h[C]eaded for my [D]home in O[G]hio
[G]I was tired of that same-old-same
[Em]So I chased down my fifteen of fame
[C]And I kissed goodbye the boy that I called h[D]ome
[G]Then I changed in ways I can't express
[Em]I forgot that boy I love the best
[C]Is keepin' from feeling so al[D]one
[C]So you can have your California,
[Em]New York's nice but I can't stay
[C]Send my love to Carolina
[Em]but it's just too far a[D]way
[Em]I am headed for my l[C]ove, I've gotta [Em]go
[Em]I am h[C]eaded for my [D]home in O[G]hio
[G]So I pick up that rock and swipe it clean
[Em]Now I'm only sayin' what I mean
[C]And I'm telling him I'm sorry for my lo[D]ss
[G]And the moment that I see his face
[Em]I'll know if this is still my place
[C]Or if I've been away for far too [D]long
[C]So you can have your California,
[Em]New York's nice but I can't stay
