LYRICS Carolina In My Mind by James Taylor In my mind, I’m gone to Carolina Can’t you see the sunshine? Can’t you just feel the moon shinin’? 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 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? I’m going to Carolina in my mind There ain’t no doubt in no one’s mind That love’s the finest thing around Whisper somethin’ soft and kind And hey, babe the sky’s on fire, I’m dyin’ ain’t I? I’m going 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 moon shinin’? Ain’t it just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind? Yes, I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind Well, dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling Geese in flight and dogs that bite The signs, it might be omens Say I’m goin’, 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 Well, in my mind, I’m gone to Carolina Can’t you see the sunshine? Can’t you just feel the moon shinin’? 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 Then I’m gone to Carolina in my mind Gone to Carolina in my mind Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone Say nice things about me ’Cause I’m gone south, gone Got to carry on without me I’m gone #JamesTaylor #JT #CarolinaInMyMind 🎵 NEW ALBUM 🎵 🌟 FOLLOW JAMES ON SOCIAL 🌟 🌐 VISIT THE WEBSITE 🌐 ✉️ JOIN THE MAILING LIST ✉️ 🎸 FREE GUITAR LESSONS BY JAMES 🎸
