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 like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
No, I'm going to Carolina in my mind

Karen, she's a 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
Hey, babe, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
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 moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
No, I'm goin' 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 must be omens say I'm going, going
Gone to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing around me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it feels like it could go on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm going 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?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
Oh, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
