he feels fine
I feel fine
going to Carolina
in my mind
or at least
what Carolina is
to me
and James
he’s going with me
singing away the blues
the sun shines
the moon shines
a highway stretches
out there
before us
forever
so saddle up
James and me
we are headed
for Carolina
and home cooked meals
lazy afternoons
our mothers setting the table
our brothers teasing
each other
and James and me
we got a girl
there in Carolina
in our mind

Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Ah, yes, I can.
Just call out my name…and you’ve got a friend. Smooth and relaxing James. I can’t get his songs out of my head, but maybe that’s a good thing. Enjoy his company.
Yes, I think maybe it is a good thing.
Bingo
Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been away from Carolina, coming home is always a heart event. There’s just something special in the dirt here that never leaves your soul. Sweet Baby James just knew exactly how to express the magic it holds to us, even if it’s just in our thoughts and memories.
Yes, which is why the song has such resonance for many of us.
