Mid south, North Carolina
Is where my home is and I miss home
Shut my mouth because I'll find ya
Driving backroads to my home
Where laurels on the mountains smell like life
Where my friends are, my family, and my wife
I've been driving through the night and boy I'll find ya
Back in North Carolina
I'm sick and tired of this interstate
Take me anyway through the mountains
A month of driving got me feeling blue
But I feel brand new in those fountains
Where laurels on the mountains smell like life
Where my friends are, my family, and my wife
I've been driving through the night and boy I'll find ya
Back in North Carolina
As I approach the border
Over my shoulder I see the end
Now I'm back and safe and sound with
My wife and now we're home again
