[Verse 1]
There's a cabin in a valley
My grandpa built on your land
Your mountains are a canvas
For the makers hand
Tonight I'm fishing Elk River
If only in my mind
No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time
I carry you in my heart
Your memory comes over me like the dark and

[Chorus]
Like a phone call from my baby
Saying' honey I miss ya like crazy
Like the sound of a siren song
Oh Carolina, ya keep calling me home
Calling' me home

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I grow weary
From going' all the time
I love to take a minute
Let you ease my mind
I'd love to see my mama
Maybe go for a drive
But I got to play the star in some little town again tonight
Don't get me wrong
I love what I do
It's just another song about missing you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Calling me home[x3]
Oh, oh, we're almost home

[Chorus]
Like a phone call from my baby
Saying honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy
Just like the song of a siren song

Oh Carolina
Carolina[x2]
Keep calling me home
Calling me home[x3]
Carolina[x2]
Keep calling me home

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
