There's something missing in the air tonight
That old Rockingham moon knows just how to find
Here I am a thousand miles away
There ain't nothing like you girl here in L.A.

Chasing dreams and watching 'em come true
Everything is coming my way but you, but you

Oh, I'm Carolina blue and I'm surely missing you
And those Smokey Mountain nights when you made everything right
Your voice gets me through the night
But it's breaking my heart just to know that you're missin' me
Girl, that's what's keepin' me, Carolina blue

You always talked about heading out west
Taking our chances leaving everything else
Standing here on this coast alone
Thinkin' 'bout you leaves one way to go

Come tomorrow we won't need a telephone
Don't look for me here 'cause I'll be gone, well, I'm comin' home

'Cause I'm Carolina blue and I'm surely missing you
And those Smokey Mountain nights when you made everything right
Your voice gets me through the night
But it's breaking my heart just to know that you're missin' me
Girl, that's what's keepin' me, Carolina blue

'Til I'm back in your arms there only one thing to do
'Til the whole wide world is back just me and you

Oh, I'm Carolina blue and I'm surely missing you
And those Smokey Mountain nights when you made everything right
Your voice gets me through the night
But it's breaking my heart just to know that you're missin' me
Girl, that's what's keepin' me, Carolina blue
Hey yeah, Carolina blue, yeah
