In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina   Can't you see the sunshine   Can't you just feel the moonshine   Maybe just like a friend of mine   It hit me from behind   Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind      Karen she's a silver sun   You best walk her way and watch it shinin'   Watch her watch the mornin' come   A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'   Ain't I goin' 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    And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm Dyin'   Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind      In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina   Can't you see the sunshine   Can't you just feel the moonshine   Maybe just like a friend of mine   It hit me from behind   Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind      Dark and silent last 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 going, going   I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind      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   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 moon shining   Ain't it just like a friend of mine   To hit me from behind   Yes I'm gone to Carolina in my mind   Gone to Carolina in my mind   Then I'm on to Carolina in my mind   Gone to Carolina in my mind   Gone - I'm gone - I'm gone   Say nice things about me   'Cause I'm gone south   Carry on without me   'Cause I'm gone
