CAROLINA IN MY MIND - James Taylor


In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see 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.


Karen, she's a silver sun
You'd best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing, now I'm crying, ain't I
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 dying, 'deed I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.


CHORUS
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see 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.


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'm going, going, 
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind


With a holy host of others standing round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the road
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.


CHORUS
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see 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.
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, I'm gone -
Say nice things about me, cause I'm gone - 
Soft now, got to carry on without me, I'm gone...
