James Taylor: Beating Carolina in My Mind

[bballbeadle]

In my mind we're beating Carolina
Can't you see the glory?
Can't you just feel the story?
Ain't it fun to beat someone by sneaking from behind?
Yes, we're beating Carolina in my mind.

Boeheim is our golden sun
You best move away and watch him shine
Watch him make a miracle come.
Our press, a thing of beauty
Now I'm crying, ain't I?
'Cause we're beating Carolina in my mind.

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That our team is very fine
The analysts are soft and kind!
Hey, guys, the sky fell down! They're dying
While I'm beating Carolina in my mind.

In my mind we're beating Carolina
Can't you see the glory?
Can't you just feel the story?
Ain't it fun to beat someone by sneaking from behind?
Yes, we're beating Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard Houston calling
Planes in flight and fares that bite.
And signs that might be omens say we're skying, flying
And I'm beating Carolina in my mind.

With a host of the Orange faithful standing 'round me
I feel like I am flying to the moon!
And it seems it's been -- forever! -- just to get here
You must forgive me, if I've up and
Beaten Carolina in my mind!

In my mind I'm beating Carolina
Can't you see the glory?
Can't you just feel the story?
Ain't it fun to beat someone by sneaking from behind?
Yes, I'm beating Carolina
In ... my ... mind!

(Beating Carolina in my mind
Lord, we're beating Carolina in my mind . . .)

Awesome!!!

that was great

Sad thing is that I really like Carolina and have many friends who are fans. But we have to beat them regardless!

Wonderful effort. I felt the same way about Virginia. I lived in Virginia for 30 years and have many friends with UVA connections. It's always been fun to trash talk but feel badly that their great team ran into our team peaking at the perfect time. We're on a magical run with anything possible. UNC fans should be concerned...

Don, I think they ARE concerned. Naturally, I didn't send the song to them. But I did send it to my Duke friends, to great acclaim. Ha ha!

That is great. And folks this is a true SU fan as she got her masters from N. Carolina. She is also one of the most fun people to game watch with, as is her family and crew!! She had me to their game watches twice while I was back east last week.

Planes in flight and fares that bite. LOL!

Can't wait to see JT for real on May 6!

I don't know, Linda. I believe I stand in your shadow in that regard! But it was great fun!
