Carolina On My Mind Lyrics - John Denver

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina 

Can't you see the sunshine 

Can't you just feel the moonshine 

Maybe just like a friend of mine 

It 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 it no ones mind 

That loves 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 

Maybe just like a friend of mine 

It 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 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 gone to Carolina in my mind
