Lyrics
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
