Caroline

Middle finger queen of the never mind

It’s been a little while since the second time

I knew that you’d never come home

Caroline

You were just a child

In the fireline

You were just a child

When your mama died

And daddy couldn’t make it alone

And I wonder out loud

Where your heart is now

Where your heart is now

Where your heart is now

Caroline

Now then you’re in the magazines

Tabloid rags and the trash machines

Spitting out the image of the memory

Of a girl with the pigtails flying

I had a dream that you were calling home

Standing in the rain on the pay phone

All that you were getting was a dial tone

No one on the end of the line

And I wonder out loud

Where your heart is now

Where your heart is now

Where your heart is now

Caroline

Ohhh, ohhh

They say your heart is where your treasure is

But maybe there’s another way to measure this

Cause it feels like what you find pleasure in

Are the things that are bringing you down

And every now and then I wonder if you’ll ever make it home again

Back to the childhood innocence of the girl on the old playground

And I wonder out loud

Where your heart is now

Where your heart is now

Where your heart is now

Caroline
