Carolina In My Mind - Live At The Colonial Theatre / 2007

I miss my home in North Carolina
I miss my dad, my dog, Hercules
My pumpkin collection, I've missed it all

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?
Oh, 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 ones 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 moonshine?
Ain't it like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
Still, 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
And signs that might be omens say I'm going, going
Gone to Carolina in my mind

It's with a holy host of others standing round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it looks like it goes on like this forever, oh
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm long gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine, I said
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

Oh, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
'Cause I'm already gone, I'm gone
Say nice things about me, I'm gone
You'll have to carry on without me, I'm gone
Oh, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind, I'm gone
Yes I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
