"Carolina In My Mind" lyrics

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Karen, she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing, now I'm crying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
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 like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
Oh yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard the highway call
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
The signs that might be omens say I'm going, going
Gone to Carolina in my mind

Now the holy host of others standing around me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me, you must forgive me
Oh, oh, oh, yes, 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 like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?
Oh yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
And I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Gone to Carolina in my mind

Yes, I'm gone to Carolina, I'm gone
Say thank above me, I'm gone
Carry on without me, I'm gone
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina
Gone to Carolina
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
