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?
Yes, I'm gone to
Carolina in my mind
Karin, she's a silver sun
You best walk her way
and watch it shine
Watch her watch
the morning come
A silver tear appearing
now I'm crying, ain't I?
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, babe,
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?
Yes, I'm gone to
Carolina in my mind
Dark and silent
late 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'm going, going
Gone 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 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?
Can't you just feel
the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a
friend of mine to
hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to
Carolina in my mind
Gone to
Carolina in my mind
And I'm gone to
Carolina in my mind
Gone to
Carolina in my mind
Gone,
I'm gone, I'm gone
Say nice
things about me
'Cause I'm gone south
Carry on without me
'Cause I'm gone
