Discover the story of the song > Carolina – Eric Church

The protagonist is thinking about a cabin his grandpa built on someone else's land and how the mountains around it inspire him. He feels homesick and longs for his partner, who he compares to a phone call from his baby and a siren song. Despite being tired from constantly traveling and performing, he loves what he does but misses his partner and wants to go home to his family. The song repeats the theme of Carolina calling him home.
