In my mind I'm going to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moon shining Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind Guess I'm going to Carolina in my mind Karen she's a silver sun, you best walk her way and watch her shining 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 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, can't you just feel the moon shining Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind Guess I'm going 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 I'm going, I'm going to Carolina in my mind With the 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 going to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moon shining Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind Guess I'm going to Carolina in my mind Gone to Carolina in my mind And I'm going to Carolina in my mind Gone to Carolina in my mind I'm gone, I'm gone I'm gone, say nice things about me Cause I'm gone, solid gone Got to carry on without me I'm gone
