“… I think I might have heard the highway call my name”

Dark and silent, late last night
I think I might have heard the highway call my name
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Other signs that might be omens say, “I’m goin’, I’m goin'”
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

And it’s 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. ~~~ Carolina In My Mind (James Taylor, 1970)
