lyrics
[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]
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]
