​ In my mind I've gone to Carolina​ Can't you see the sunshine can't you just feel the moon shining? Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind​ Yes I'm gone to Caro - lina in my mind​ Karen, she's a silver sun, you'd best walk her away and watch it shining Watch her watch the morning come A silver tear appearing now I'm crying ain't I? I've gone to Carol - ina in my mind

There ain't no doubt in no-ones mind that loves the finest thing around Whisper something soft and kind And hey baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dy- ing, ain't I I've gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I've gone to Carolina​ Can't you see the sunshine cant you just feel the moon shining? Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind Yes I'm gone to Caro - lina 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 The signs that it might be omens say I'm go- in', go- in' I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing around me Still I'm on the dark side of the moon ​ And it seems like this goes on like this forever. You must forgive me ​ If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I've gone to Carolina​ Can't you see the sunshine can't you just feel the moon shining? Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind Yes I'm gone to Caro - li - na in my mind
