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