lyrics

I've never been to New York City
I've never even been as far north as Philly
I've never gone out west to California
I heard that across the sea there's a place they call Paris
And I've seen pictures of Rome and Cairo, but I bet I'll never go
China and Japan are just two distant lands to me, a Carolina boy
I like to stay where the sweet tea flows

But I climbed up over the mountains and settled down on the other side
I found my spot on top of a hill
So for now

I'm happy on my hill here in Georgia
'Cause Tennessee looks so pretty
Kentucky, I can see you, too
Virginia, Alabama composing my front porch view
But you know I'll be home soon, Carolina
Yeah, I'll be home soon

I have a friend who's been to New York City
I know she's been at least three times to Philly
She's gone out west to LA and Hawaii
China and Japan are just two of the distant lands she talks about across the sea like Paris

But she says, yeah, she always tells me

I'm happy on my hill here in Georgia
'Cause Tennessee looks so pretty
Kentucky, I can see you, too
Virginia, Alabama composing my front porch view
But there's something special about Carolina
Something special about Carolina

So I'll sing

I'm happy on my hill here in Georgia
'Cause Tennessee looks so pretty
Kentucky, I can see you, too
Virginia, Alabama composing my front porch view
But you know I'll be home soon, Carolina
I'm coming back home soon to you, Carolina

So I'll sing

I'm happy on my hill here in Georgia
I don't need to go to New York City, no, 'cause Tennessee looks so pretty
Don't need to go out west 'cause I know I've got the best on my hill here in Georgia
On my hill here in Georgia

But I'll be home soon
