Can't figure out why I ever wanted to roam
Can't figure out why I went away from home
Gee, how I miss all the friends I used to know
Can't wait till I return to the place that I love so

Just a little bit south of North Carolina
That's where I long to be
In a little brown shack in South Carolina
Someone waits for me
In each letter she says that the weather's fine
And the folks are feelin' great
That the garden looks grand and the red rose vine
Is clinging to the gate
Just a little bit south of North Carolina
That's where my thoughts all stray
To the one I love best in South Carolina
I'm going back some day
I can hardly wait to see the face
Of the one I idolize
Just a little bit south of North Carolina
I'll find paradise

Just a little bit south of North Carolina
That's where I long to be
In a little brown shack in South Carolina
Someone waits for me
In each letter she says that the weather's fine
And the folks are feelin' great
That the garden looks grand and the red rose vine
Is clinging to the gate
Just a little bit south of North Carolina
That's where my thoughts all stray
To the one I love best in South Carolina
I'm going back some day
I can hardly wait to see the face
Of the one I idolize
Just a little bit south of North Carolina
I'll find paradise
