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 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 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

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 calling

Geese in flight and dogs that bite

Signs that might be omens say I'm 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 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



Goin' to Carolina in my mind

And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Goin' to Carolina in my mind



(Goin')

(I'm goin')

(Say nice things about me 'cause I'm goin' southbound)

(Carry on with out me 'cause I'm goin')
