In my mind I' m going to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me fro m behind
Yes I'm going to Car olin a in my mind
Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shining
Watch her watch the morni ng come
A silver tear appearing now I' m cry in, ain't I ?
Going to Car olin a in my mind
There ain't no doubt i t no one's mind
That love's the fines t thing around
Whisper something warm an d kind
And hey babe the sky's on fire, I' m dyi ng, ain't I ?
Going to Car olin a in my mind
Dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs tha t bite
Signs that might be omens say I goi ng, goin g
I'm going to Car olin a in my mind
With a holy host of others standin g round me
Still I'm on the dark side of th e moo n
And it seems like it goes on lik e th is forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Car olin a in my mind
