Carolina In My Mind - Carole King, James Taylor

In my mind I’m gone 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

Karin, she’s a silver sun

You best walk her way and watch it shine

And watch her watch the morning come

A silver tear appearing now

I’m cryin', ain’t I?

Gone to Carolina in my mind

There ain’t no doubt in no ones mind

That love’s the finest thing around

Whisper something soft and kind

And hey babe, the sky’s on fire

I’m dying, ain’t I?

Gone 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 moonshine?

And, 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 call

And geese in flight and dogs that bite

The signs that might be omens say

I’m goin', I’m 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

In my mind I’m goin' to Carolina

Can’t you see the sunshine?

Can’t you just feel the moonshine?

Ain’t is 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 goin' to Carolina in my mind

Goin' to Carolina in my mind

Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone

Say nice things about me 'cause I’m gone south now

Got to carry on without me, I’m gone
