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 
  It 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 
 
  There ain't no doubt it no ones mind 
  That loves the finest thing around 
  Whisper something warm and kind 
  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 
  Can't you just feel the moonshine 
  Maybe just like a friend of mine 
  It hit me from behind 
  Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind 
 
  Dark and silent last last night 
  I think I might have heard the highway calling 
  Geese in flight and dogs that bite 
  Signs that might be omens say I going, going 
  I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind 
 
  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 
 
  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 
  It hit me from behind 
  Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
