I arrive by automobile
Left my mother in the north of the state
I drive around to collect my things, I should be gone for a few days
I don't know who to call or who to leave alone
Is it wrong to say nothing to someone you use to know
Where did you go Elise?
Where did you go Elise
We met up in a southern state
We were told it would remind us of home
And I suppose in a way it did, if you take it on its own
I know the people of North Carolina aren't to blame
For the comparisons a homesick mind will make
Where did you go Elise?
Where did you go Elise?
I thought that we were close
I thought that I would know
Tell me there's a place
Where this is all behind us, if I only wait
Where did you go Elise?
