"Carolina" lyrics

In my mind, I'm going 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 hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind

Karen, she's the silver sun
You best walk away and watch it shine
And watch her watch 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, babe, the sky's on fire. I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm going to Carolina in my mind

'Cause in my mind, I'm going 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 hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind

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 going to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing around me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And I feel like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me...
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

'Cause in my mind, I'm going 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?
Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
