“Carolina In My Mind” — lyrics
In my mind I’m goin’ to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind
Can’t you see the sunshine?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind
Karen she’s a silver sun
You best 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
You best 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
That love’s the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
Yes and hey babe the sky’s on fire, I’m dyin’
Ain’t I goin’ to Carolina in my mind
That love’s the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
Yes 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, sugar?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind
Can’t you see the sunshine, sugar?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I’m goin’ 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
Other signs that might be omens say I’m going, going
I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Other signs that might be omens say I’m going, going
I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind
And it’s 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 gone to Carolina in my mind
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’, goin’ to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Can’t you see the sunshine?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind
Yes I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind
Said I’m goin’ to Carolina
Said I’m goin’ to Carolina
I’m gone, say nice things about me
I’m gone, you got to carry on without me
I’m gone…
