Well, I'm makin' my way up the coast
to see the one I love the most
It's a short day in September when I go
And I wonder if he's still the same
Like the way his mouth fits around my name
I guess there's only one sure way to know

So you can have your California,
New York's nice but I can't stay
Send my love to Carolina
but it's just too far away
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio

I was tired of that same-old-same
So I chased down my fifteen of fame
And I kissed goodbye the boy that I called home
Then I changed in ways I can't express
I forgot that boy I love the best
