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?
And, ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

Karin, she’s a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin’
Watch her, watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now
I’m cryin’, ain’t I?

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, babe, the sky’s on fire
I’m dying, ain’t I?

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

Dark and silent, late last night
I think I might have heard the highway call my name
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Other signs that might be omens say, “I’m goin’, I’m goin'”
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

And it’s with a holy host of others standin’ 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
If I’m up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I’m goin’ 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?
Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Said I’m gone to Carolina
I’d better get back on home again, real soon, you know?
‘Cause I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
