In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina.
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moon shinin'?

Ain't it just like a friend of mine
to hit me from behind.
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

Karen, she's a silver sun.
You'd best walk her away and watch it shinin'.
Watch her watch the mornin' come.

A silver tear appearing now,
I'm cryin', ain't I?
I'm 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 dyin', 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 moon shinin'?

Ain't it just like a friend of mine
to hit me from behind.
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

Oh, dark and silent, late last night,
I think I might have heard the highway callin',
geese in flight and dogs that bite.

And signs that might be omens
say I'm goin', I'm goin',
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

With a holy host of others standin' around me,
still I'm on the dark side of the moon.
And it seems 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 moon shinin'?

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, I'm gone.

Got to carry on without me,
I'm gone…
