LYRICS
Carolina In My Mind by James Taylor
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 best walk her way and watch it shinin’
Watch her watch the mornin’ come
A silver tear appearing now, I’m cryin’, ain’t I?
I’m going to Carolina in my mind
There ain’t no doubt in no one’s mind
That love’s the finest thing around
Whisper somethin’ soft and kind
And hey, babe the sky’s on fire, I’m dyin’ ain’t I?
I’m going 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 goin’ to Carolina in my mind
Well, dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
The signs, it might be omens
Say I’m goin’, 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
Well, 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
Then 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, gone
Got to carry on without me
I’m gone
