The Wrong Ocean - Delta Rae

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

Twenty years of the same sun rising

My southern roots have just been holding me down

I wanna free fall over Mulholland

Out where the Eagles met Jackson Brown

Sit and watch the sun go down

'Cause 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

From the Outer Banks to the City of Angels

One-room apartment on the Boulevard

Fifth show at the Troubadour and it’s standing room only

An A&R man with a business card

Says I’m gonna be a star

'Cause I’ve been looking at the wrong ocean

Only so many smiles I can fake in a row

So many friends that I really don’t know

Blue Devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear

«Look homeward angel, what you doing out here?»

It’s been a long three years

And 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, yeah

And Carolina’s still home to me

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

(I'm coming home)

Oh, oh

(I'm coming home, Carolina)

Oh, oh
