In my mind I'm goin' 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   Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind      Karen shes a silver sun   You best walk her way and watch it shine   Watch her watch the mornin' come   A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin' ain't I   I'm goin' to carolina in my mind      There ain't no doubt it no ones mind   That love's the finest thing around   Whisper something warm and kind   And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm dyin' ain't I   I'm 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   Ain't it just like a friend of mine   To hit me from behind   Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind      Dark and silent late last night   I think I might have heard the highway callin'   Geese in flight and dogs that bite   Signs that might be omens say I goin', goin'   I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
