You can't always see me But you know that I'm always there When you see one shining Take it as mine And remember I'm always near If you see a comet Baby I'm on it Making my way back home It won't be long

You can have Charleston My home, my heart Where I was born and raised Where one day they're gonna take my body And lay it in a grave But it's got to be this way It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye But it'll kill me if I stay The cobblestone streets

I'll still call my hometown home That's all I'm ever gonna be You can take me out of the country But you can't take the country out of me, no 'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden Had to get away so I could grow But it don't matter where I'm goin' I've
