Every time I think I smell that sweet southern rain    it takes me to a station on the long black train    I wanna hear the wind blow, and feel the earth move below me    despite of all the good times, I gotta rest my soul       So I'm gone, yes I'm gone    gone to Carolina, where I know that I belong       Yes I'm gone, yes I'm gone    gone to Carolina, where I know I have a home       Every time I think I see your face in a crowd    it's like a bell inside of me, and it's ringin' out loud    I've been so high for so long, there's nothing tried nor true    I'm thinking bout coming down, to lay a little on you       And I'm gone, yes I'm gone    gone to Carolina, where I know that I belong       Yes I'm gone, yes I'm gone    gone to Carolina, where I know I have a home       Take me home       [solo]       Yes I'm gone, yes I'm gone    gone to Carolina, where I know that I belong       Yes I'm gone, yes I'm gone    gone to Carolina, where I know I have a home       Yea, come on
