Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you´re out there somewhere thinking ´bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
Cause I look in the mirror and I´ll I see
Are you brown eyes lookin´ back at me
They´re the only thing you ever gave to me at all

( chorus )
Oh, I hear the weather´s nice in california
There´s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you´d say to me

I think about how it aint fair
That you weren´t there to braid my hair
Like mothers do
You weren´t around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom
like mothers do
Did you think I didn´t need you here
To hold my hand
To dry my tears
Did you even miss me through the years at all

( chorus )

Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it´s so hard to do when you´ve been hurt

Oh, I hear the weather´s nice in California
And just in case you´re wondering about me
For now on I won´t be in Carolina
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off to Tennessee
