In my mind, I'm going to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Now can't you just feel the moonshine? And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? And 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 one's mind That love's the finest thing around Whisper something soft and kind And hey, baby - the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Now can't you just feel the moonshine? And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling Geese in flight and dogs that bite The signs that might be omens say I'm going, going I'm gone to Carolina in my mind Now it's a holy host of others standing around me Still I'm on the dark side of the moon And it seems like it goes on like this forever You must forgive me If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind In my mind I'm gone to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes I'm gone to Carolina in my mind I'm gone to Carolina in my mind I'm gone to Carolina in my mind I'm gone to Carolina in my mind I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
