In my mind I’m gone to Carolina. Can’t you see the sunshine?

Can’t you just feel the moon shining? Ain’t it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind.

Yes, I’m going to Carolina in my mind.

1. Karen, she’s a silver sun, you’d best walk her way and watch it shining,

watch her watch the morning come. A silver tear appearing now, I’m cr---ying, ain’t I ?

I’ve gone to Carolina in my mind.

2. 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 skies on fire, I’m dy-----ing ain’t I?

I’ve gone to Carolina in my mind.

CHORUS

3. Dark and silent, late last night, I think I might have heard the highway calling.

Geese in flight and dogs that bite, and signs that might be omens say I’m go----ing, going.

I’ve gone to Carolina in my mind.

With a holy host of others standing round 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,

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?

Can’t you just feel the moon shining? Ain’t it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind.

Yes, I’m goin to Carolina in my mind.

I’m going to Carolina in my mind.
