[Chorus] In my mind, I'm going 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? And I'm going to Carolina in my mind [Verse 1] Karen she's the silver sun You best walk her way and watch it shine Watch her once the morning come A silver tear appearing now I'm crying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind There ain't no doubt in no one's mind That love's the finest thing around Whisper something soft and kind And hey, baby - the sky's on fire I'm dying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind [Chorus] In my mind, I'm going 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? When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind [Verse 2] Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling Geese in flight and dogs that bite The signs that might be omens say I'm going, going I'm gone to Carolina in my mind It's with a holy host of others standing around 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 up and gone to Carolina in my mind [Chorus] In my mind, I'm going 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? When I'm going to Carolina in my mind When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind Well I'm already gone I'm gone Say nice things about me I'm gone, sudden gone You've gotta carry on without me I'm gone, I'm gone I'm going to Carolina in my mind Yeah I'm Yes I'm going to Carolina in my mind
