Carolina In My Mind

(album: Candles In The Rain - 1970)

In my mind I'm going to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
And maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
And I'm going to Carolina in my mind

Karen she's a silver sun
You better walk her way and watch it shining
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying
Ain't I going to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no one's mind
Loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey babe, the sky's on fire
I'm dying, ain't I
Going to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm going 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
Going to Carolina in my mind

Well, it was dark and silent last last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say I going, going
Going to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm going 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
And I'm going to Carolina in my mind

Oh, I can just see the sunshine
I can feel the moonshine
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
Come hit me from behind
I'm going to Carolina in my mind
