In my mind I'm gone 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 gone to Carolina in my mind

Karin, 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 cryin', ain't I?

Gone to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt in no ones mind

That love's the finest thing around

Whisper something soft and kind

And hey babe, the sky's on fire

I'm dying, ain't I?

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?

Ain't it just like a friend of mine

To hit me from behind?

Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent, late last night

I think I might have heard the highway call

And geese in flight and dogs that bite

The signs that might be omens say

I'm goin', I'm goin'

I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standin' around 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
