in my mind i’m going to carolina
can’t you see the sunshine
now can’t you just feel the moonshine
and ain’t it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
yes 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
and hey baby the sky’s on fire i’m dying ain’t i
i’m going to carolina in my mind
in my mind i’m gone to carolina
can’t you see the sunshine
now can’t you just feel the moonshine
and 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 call
geese in flight and dogs that bite
the signs that might be omens say i’m going going
gone to carolina in my mind
4
now where holy host of others standing around me
still i’m on the dark side of the moon
and it looks like it goes on like this forever
you must forgive me
if its 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 moonshine
and ain’t it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
yes i’m gone to carolina in my mind
in my mind i’m gone to carolina
can’t you see the sunshine
now can’t you just feel the moonshine
and ain’t it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
yes i’m gone to carolina in my mind
