How far, how much more
'Til I see your hand in mine
I'll be loving you
Staying true
If you give me time

So, take me to North Carolina
Where my baby lives
I won't be there by tomorrow
But heaven knows I'm on my way

Put some fire in those footsteps
Just a little bit more
Heaven knows I miss you
But I'm closer than before

So take me to North Carolina
Where my baby lives
I won't be there by tomorrow
But heaven knows I'm on my way
(I'm on my way)

So take me to North Carolina
Where my baby lives
I won't be there by tomorrow
But heaven knows I'm on my way
So take me to North Carolina
