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
