In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
And it like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Oh 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
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
There no doubt it no ones mind
That loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
hey baby the sky's on fire, I'm Dyin' Ain't I
And 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
And it like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Tonight 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, I'm going
Goin' to Carolina in my mind
It's a holy host of others standing 'round 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 I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm long to goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine , that's it
Can't you just feel the moonshine
And it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Oh I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Oh I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
So I'm all ready go
I'm gone
Say nice things about me
I'm gone
You have to carry on without me
I'm goin'
Oh I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind I'm gone
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
