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? Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind? Karen, 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, well, I'm crying, ain't I? I'm 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, baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I? I'm 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 moonshine? Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind? Dark and silent late last night Think I might have heard the highway calling Geese in flight and dogs that bite And signs that might be omens say, "I'm going, I'm going" I'm gone to Carolina in my mind It's with a holy host of others standing 'round me Still, I'm on the dark side of the moon And it looks 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? I said can't you just feel the moonshine? And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind? When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind Well, I'm already gone, I'm gone Say nice things about me 'cause I'm gone, South, I'm gone You got to carry on without me, I'm gone, I'm gone I'm gone to Carolina in my mind, yeah Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
