in my mind i'm going 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
it hit me from behind
and i'm going to carolina in my mind

karen she's a silver sun
you best walk her way and watch it shining
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 it no ones mind
that loves the finest thing around
whisper something soft and kind
hey babe the sky's on fire i'm dying well ain't i
i'm going to carolina in my mind

in my mind i'm going 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
and 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
signs that might be omens say i going going
i'm going to carolina in my mind
now 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 going to carolina in my mind

in my mind i'm going 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
and i'm going to carolina in my mind
going to carolina in my mind
going to carolina in my mind
