[CHORUS]
In my mind, I'm going 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
To hit me from behind

And I'm going to Carolina in my mind

Karen, she's the silver sun

You 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
I'm going to Carolina in my mind


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

I'm going to Carolina in my mind

[Repeat CHORUS]


Dark and silent late 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'm going, going, I'm going
To Carolina in my mind


Now with a holy host of
Others standing round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon

It looks like this goes on
Like this forever
You must forgive me if I'm up


[Repeat CHORUS]


Well, gonna get back home again
Gotta make it back to Carolina soon
I wanna get back on home again soon

Yeah, Lord, and I gotta get back
To Carolina soon


Carolina in my mind
Wanna get back on home again soon
I wanna get back to Carolina soon

I wanna get back on home again soon

I gotta get back to Carolina soon

I wanna get back on home again soon
Gotta get back to Carolina soon...
