Carolina In My Mind Lyrics

Performed by James Taylor
Review The Song (10)

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')

Caroline in my mind | Reviewer: Maksudul Haq Rumi | 4/17/12

This song sings of success and victory as finally being able to go to the place one always called home.

This song relates to me as finally sailing for the place of my desire, where first dreams were born, fond memories created.

When I moved away from my childhood place to attend University, I more than often missed the sun rise, blue sky and the setting sun and persons I shared my memories with-- I always wanted to go back and be there.


My Mom, Carolina | Reviewer: Kathie | 11/14/11

When my mom passed in February of 2004, this became the official song to remember my mom. She was such a wonderful person. She was our sunshine and moonshine, the light of our lives...Love and Miss you Mommy

he's gone to carolina | Reviewer: shannonree | 7/24/11

This song was one of my dad's favorites. He passed in November of 2008 and when we buried him the sun was setting and the sky lloked on fire. I can't sing this song without remembering him and knowing that, no matter where I am or how softly I sing, he knows I'm singing to and for him. I miss you Daddy. I know you're happy in your Carolina wherever that may be.

Bless you Mr. Taylor | Reviewer: Greg | 7/6/11

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. I had the pleasure of seeing James Taylor last year with Carol King. Problem was, I found it difficult to sing along without tearing up. Silly for a 43 year old guy, and I can't really explain it. Guess it just reaches inside.

Future | Reviewer: Clark Coffman | 6/21/11

I dont live in Carolina but my relatives have a house in the outerbanks and i have loved it ever since now. I plan on going to college there and living there later. This song is what i play everytime im thinking about going up or even while im going up.

feel so much | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/15/11

this song makes me so weak , all my emotions come up and i cry so much , reminds me of love ive squandered because i was either to scared or to selfish to commit , but still miss the love the person who is still in my life used to feel for me but still loves me but not like she used to . its better though because she suffered alot when i could not return the same in the past .

I have been a James Taylor fan for many years. I really enjoyed the tribute to him on PBS. I enjoyed it so much, I bought the DVD. This song is my children and my favorite.
