In my mind I'm going to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind
Karen she's the silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying
Ain't I?
I'm going to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt in no ones mind
That loves the finest thing around
So ,whisper something soft and kind
And hey, babe, the sky's on fire
I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm going to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm going to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
And can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind
Dark and silent late last night
Think I might have heard the highway call.
With geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say
I'm going, going I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
With a holy host of others standing round me now
And still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
So, you must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm going to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Gone to Carolina in my mind
