In my mind I'm goin' 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 And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind Karen she's 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, goin' 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 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 And ain't it just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind And 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 And signs that might be omens say I'm going, going, going Goin' to Carolina in my mind There’s whole 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 ‘Cause in my mind I'm goin' 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 And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine
