"Carolina in My Mind" lyrics
(originally by James Taylor)
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?
Yes, I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Karin, she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearin' now, I'm cryin', ain't I?
I'm goin' 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 goin' to Carolina in my mind
In my mind, I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
And 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 goin' 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
And signs that might be omens say I'm goin', goin'
Goin' to Carolina in my mind
Mmm, 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?
Yes, I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Mmm, in my mind, I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Now 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 goin' to Carolina in my mind
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 goin' to Carolina in my mind
Karin, she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearin' now, I'm cryin', ain't I?
I'm goin' 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 goin' to Carolina in my mind
In my mind, I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
And 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 goin' 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
And signs that might be omens say I'm goin', goin'
Goin' to Carolina in my mind
Mmm, 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?
Yes, I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Mmm, in my mind, I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Now 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 goin' to Carolina in my mind
