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 soft 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 late 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
