Lyrics to The Wrong Ocean

[Chorus]

I've been looking at the wrong ocean

Carolina's been good to me

But I've been looking at the wrong ocean

California's where I want to be



[Verse 1]

Twenty years of the same sun rising

My southern roots just been holding me down

I wanna freefall over Mulholland

Out where the Eagles met Jackson Brown

Sit and watch the sun go down



[Chorus]

I've been looking at the wrong ocean

Carolina's been good to me

But I've been looking at the wrong ocean

California's where I want to be

California sounds good to me



[Verse 2]

From the Outer Banks to the City of Angels

One-room apartment on the Boulevard

Big show at the Troubadour and it's getting real lonely

The A & R man with the business cards

Says I'm gonna be a star



Cause I've been looking at the wrong ocean



[Verse 3]

Only so many smiles I can fake in a row

So many friends that I really don't know

The devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear

Look homeward angel, what you doing out here?

It's been a long three years



[Chorus]

I've been looking at the wrong ocean

California's been good to me

But I've been looking at the wrong ocean

Carolina's where I'm meant to be

Carolina's still home to me
