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 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? Gone to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt in no ones mind that loves the finest thing around
Whisper something warm 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 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 going 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 feel like it goes on like this forever
Forgive me, if I'm going 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 going 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
And signs that might be omens say I'm going, going
Gone 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 going to Carolina in my mind
