In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
And maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Karen she's a silver sun
You better walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no one's mind
Loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey babe, the sky's on fire
I'm dyin', ain't I
Goin' 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
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
Come hit me from behind
Goin' to Carolina in my mind

Well, it was dark and silent last 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 going, going
Goin' 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
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
Come hit me from behind
And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Oh, I can just see the sunshine
I can feel the moonshine
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
Come hit me from behind
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
