Carolina (i Hear You Calling) Lyrics - Singles - Charlie Daniels Band

When it's Christmas time in Carolina 

The kinfolks gather up at Grandma's house 

And they fill the house with love 

And they honor God above 

They remember what the season's all about 

It's been ten long years since I've been there with them 

And I can't face another holiday alone 

And tonight I'm going back 

And if this train don't jump the track 

I'll spend Christmas Eve with all the folks at home 

Carolina I hear you calling 

I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there 

Carolina I hear you calling 

I can almost touch the mountains in your hair 

When I left my home in Carolina 

I never thought that things would get this far 

I was only seventeen when I struck out for New Orleans 

Trying to do or die on my guitar 

Well I always thought someday I'd be returning 

But I kept drifting with that same old traveling wind 

Can I still call you home or have I stayed away too long 

Carolina would you have me back again 

Carolina I hear you calling 

I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there 

Carolina I hear you calling 

I can almost touch the mountains in your hair 

(Carolina) 

Carolina I hear you calling 

I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there 

Carolina I hear you calling 

I can almost touch the mountains in your hair 

I can almost touch the mountains in your hair
