Melanie - Carolina In My Mind lyrics

by James Taylor

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina

Can't you see the sunshine

Can't you just feel the moonshine

Maybe just like a friend of mine

It hit me from behind

Yes I'm goin' 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 goin' to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no ones mind

That loves the finest thing around

Whisper something warm and kind

And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm Dyin'

Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina

Can't you see the sunshine

Can't you just feel the moonshine

Maybe just like a friend of mine

It hit me from behind

Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent last last night

I think I might have heard the highway calling

Geese in flight and dogs that bite

Signs that might be omens say I going, going

I'm goin' 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 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 goin' to Carolina

Can't you see the sunshine

Can't you just feel the moonshine

Maybe just like a friend of mine

It hit me from behind

Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
