CHORUS
In my mind Im goin to Carolina
Cant you see the sunshine
Cant you just feel the moonshine
And aint it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from be-hind
And Im gone to Caro-lina in my mind
 
VERSE1
Karen shes a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now Im cryin aint I
Gone to caro-lina in my mind
 
VERSE2
There aint no doubt in no ones mind
That loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey babe the skys on fire Im dyin aint I
Gone to Caro-lina in my mind

 
(CHORUS)
 
VERSE3
Dark and silent late last night
I think I mightve heard that highway call
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might me omens say Im goin goin
Gone to Caro-lina in my mind
 
MIDDLE
Now with a holy host of others standing round me
Still Im on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this for-ever
You must for-give me
 
(CHORUS)
