"James Taylor: One Man Band" James Taylor singing "Carolina In My Mind" at the Edinburgh Playhouse - Saturday 29th March, 2008. Lyrics - In my mind I'm goin' 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 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 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 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 Ain't it just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind Yes I'm goin' 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 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 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 Ain't it just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind Goin' to Carolina in my mind And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind Goin' to Carolina in my mind (Goin') (I'm goin') (Say nice things about me 'cause I'm goin' southbound) (Carry on with out me 'cause I'm goin')
