Lyrics
(From the Musical 'Rising Sun')
[ABBY]
Back home, in the bars of Carolina
I used to sing, how I dreamed of seeing the world
Back home, the setting sun in Carolina
Well I wonder if they ever think of me
Back home
Those days I would sing til the morning sunrise
The band would play, the people listened far and near
I left my home back in sleepy Carolina
I saw the world, then one day I ended up here
Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t change the way life wandered
I saw the world, saw my dreams I’ve got no regrets
But now I’m here and I dream of Carolina
And I wonder if I ever should have left
But when I get back to my home in Carolina
I’ll see those friends who I left so long ago
The setting sun back in dreamy Carolina
I wonder if they ever think of me,
One day I will return and they will see
I wonder if they ever think of me
Back home
