In my mind i'm going to carolina
  can't you see the sunshine
  can't you just feel the moon shining
  ain't it 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 best walk her way and watch it shining
  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 it no ones mind
  that loves the finest thing around
  whisper something soft and kind
  hey babe the sky's on fire i'm dying well 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 moon shining
  ain't it just like a friend of mine
  to hit me from behind
  and 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
  signs that might be omens say i going going
  i'm going 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 seems like it goes on like this forever
  you must forgive me
  if i'm up and 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 moon shining
  ain't it just like a friend of mine
  to hit me from behind
  and i'm going to carolina in my mind
  going to carolina in my mind
  going to carolina in my mind
