Intro Verse Back in those hills oh slow rollin' hills Where North Carolina comes close to the stars There's livin' a lady she'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 Oh, Carolina Even stars get lonesome now and then Oh, Carolina Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again Solo Verse He's playin' his songs stand in Nashville He's pickin' for tips in a bar He's broke and all alone, but he ain't ready to come home Where he wants to be a bluegrass pickin' star Oh, Carolina Even stars get lonesome now and then Oh, Carolina Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again Solo Verse 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 Oh, Carolina Even stars get lonesome now and then Oh, Carolina Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again Outro Yes he loves you and he's comin' home again.
