In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moon shine
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
To come and hit me from behind
And I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Karin she's a silver sun
You'd best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying ain't I
Gone to Carolina in my mind
You know there ain't no doubt in no-one's mind
That loves 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
Can't you just feel the moon shine
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
To come and hit me from behind
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Well it was dark and silent late last night
Think I might have heard the highway call
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And sighs that might be omens say
I'm going going gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Oh can't you see the sunshine
And can't you just feel the moon shine
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
To come and hit me from behind
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Oh I can feel the sunshine
Just about feel the moon shine
And I just know a friend of mine
Comes and hits me from behind
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
