Carolina in My Mind

In my mind, I'm gone 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?

Karen, she's a silver sun

You'd best walk her way and watch it shine

Watch her watch the morning come

A silver tear appearing now, well, I'm crying, ain't I?

I'm gone 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 gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind, I'm gone 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?

Dark and silent late last night

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, I'm going"

I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

It's with a holy host of others standing 'round 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

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina

Can't you see the sunshine?

I said can't you just feel the moonshine?

And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind

When I'm gone 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 'cause I'm gone, South, I'm gone

You got to carry on without me, I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm gone to Carolina in my mind, yeah

Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
