James Taylor – 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?
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
to hit me from behind?
Oh, I’m going to Carolina in my mind.

Karen she’s the 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?
I’m going to Carolina in my mind.

There ain’t no doubt in no ones mind
that loves 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 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?
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
to hit me from behind?
Yes, I’m going to Carolina in my mind.

Dark and silent late 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’m going,
yes I gotta be going
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Now 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 going 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.
Gotta make it back home again soon,
gotta make it back on home again soon,
gotta make it back to Carolina soon,
can’t hang around, no babe, gotta make it back home again,
gotta make it back to Carolina soon…
