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

and I'm going to Carolina in my mind



Karen she's a silver sun

you best walk her way and watch it shining

watch her watch the morning come

a silver tear's appearing now I'm crying ain't I

I'm going to Carolina in my mind



There ain't no doubt it no ones mind

that loves the finest thing around

whisper something soft and kind

hey babe the sky's on fire I'm dying well 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

and 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

signs that might be omens say I'm going I'm going

I'm going to Carolina in my mind



Now with a holy host of others standing round 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



is it so then



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

and 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

and I'm going to Carolina in my mind
