I don't know if you can see, the changes that have come over me In these last few days, I've been afraid that I might drift away So I've been tellin' old stories, singing old songs That made me think about where I came from That's the reason why I seem so far away today Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time Caledonia you're callin' me and now I'm going home And if I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia you're the best friend I've ever had Well I've been moved, and I've kept on movin' And I've proved the points that I needed proovin' And I've Lost the friends I needed loosin' found others on the way And I have kissed the ladies and left some cryin' Stolen dreams, no, there's no denying And I've Partied hard with coattails flyin' Somewhere with the wind Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time Caledonia you're callin' me and now I'm goin' home And if I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia you're the best friend I've ever had Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time Caledonia you're callin' me and now I'm goin' home And if I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia you're the best friend I've ever had Caledonia you're the best friend I've ever had
