[Chorus]
In my mind I'm goin' 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 come hit me from behind
And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

[Verse 1]
Karen, she's a silver sun
You better walk her away and watch her shine
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing, now I'm cryin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

[Verse 2]
And no, there ain't no doubt in no one's mind
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

[Chorus]
In my mind I'm goin' 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
Come hit me from behind
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
[Verse 3]
Oh, it was dark and silent last last night
I think I might have heard the highway call
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say I goin', goin'
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

[Chorus]
In my mind I'm goin' 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
It hit me from behind
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
