You gas her up, you're behind the wheel You put your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile And you go barrelin' down the boulevard Looking for the heart of Saturday night You got paid on Friday, your pockets are jingling Then you see the lights and you get all tingling And you're rollin' with a six Looking for the heart of Saturday night You comb your hair, you shave your face You try and wipe out every trace Of all the other nights in the week You know this'll be the Saturday you're reaching your peak Stopping with the red, you're going with the green This night will be like no other night that you've ever seen You go barreling down the boulevard Looking for the heart of Saturday night Tell me, is it the crack of the pool balls, or the neon buzzing? Oh the telephone rings, it's your second cousin Or is it the barmaids smile from the corner of her eye? Or the magic of the melancholy tear in your eye That makes it kind of quiver down in the core When you're dreaming of the Saturday nights that have gone before And now they've got you stumbling Stumbling onto the heart of Saturday night You gas her up you're behind the wheel You put arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile And you go barreling down the boulevard looking for the heart of Saturday night Tell me, is it the crack of the pool balls, or the neon buzzing? Oh the telephone rings, it's your second cousin Or is it the barmaids smile from the corner of her eye Or the magic of the melancholy tear in your eye Makes it kind of special down in the core When you're dreaming of the Saturday nights that have gone before Now they've got you stumbling Stumbling onto the heart of Saturday night Oh Now they got you stumbling Stumbling onto the heart of Saturday night

[Chorus] In my mind, I'm goin' to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Goin' to Carolina in my mind [Verse 1] Karen, she's a silver sun Best walk her away and watch it shining Watch her watch the morning come A silver tear appearing now and I'm crying, ain't I? I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind [Verse 2] 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, and I'm dying, ain't I? I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind [Chorus] In my mind, I'm goin' to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Goin' to Carolina in my mind [Verse 3] Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway callin' Geese in flight and dogs that bite The signs that might be omens say I'm goin', goin' I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind [Verse 4] Well the holy host of others is standing around me Still I'm on the dark side of the moon And it feels like it goes on like this forever You must forgive me If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind [Chorus] In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind [Outro]
