Back in the hills oh slow rollin' hills 
Where North Carolina comes close to the stars 
There's livin' a lady who's shinin' so high 
They call her the "Carolina Star' 

She works at the factory from Monday through Friday 
She's raisin' three daughters alone 
Their daddy's away, he's chasing a dream 
They're waitin' for the day that he comes home 

[Chorus]
Oh, Carolina 
Even stars get lonesome now and then 
Oh, Carolina 
Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again 

He's playin' his songs in Nashville 
He's pickin' for tips in a bar 
He's broke and all alone, but he ain't ready to come home 
He's wants to be a bluegrass pickin' star 

[Chorus]

Sometimes she wakes up just thinking of him 
She remembers him beside her in the night 
While out across those hills that old moon is settled in 
And those Carolina stars are shining bright 

[Chorus]

Yes he loves you and he's comin' home again.
