Caroline The 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 fire-line You were just a kid when your momma 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 and then you're in the magazines The tabloid rags and the trash machines They're spitting on the image of the memories Of the girl with her pigtails flying I had a dream that you were calling home Stranded in a storm on a pay phone All that you were getting was a dial-tone With 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
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 your pleasure in Are the things that are bringing you down 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
