Carolina In My Soul (A South Carolina Anthem)

Drove past the pines on Highway 17 Salt on the breeze, yeah, it's callin' to me Sunset sinking over Charleston Bay Ain't no place I'd rather stay Grandaddy's hands built this old front porch Mama's sweet tea sittin' ice-cold, of course The cicadas hum in the firefly glow Carolina nights move nice and slow Ohh, I hear the waves call my name From the mountains down to the plains… South Carolina, you're where my heart runs wild From the Blue Ridge peaks to the Edisto Isle Palmetto moon, keep shinin' bright Through summer days and firelight nights Oh, Carolina, you're my sweet home No matter where I go, you're in my bones From the rivers to the sea, wherever I roam South Carolina, you're in my soul BBQ smokin' down in Hemingway Shrimp boats rockin' in Winyah Bay Cotton fields dance in a warm June breeze Ain't no place that feels like these Gamecocks fly high on a Saturday night Tigers roar when the stars shine bright We don't just talk, nah, we take our time Ain't no rush in a life this fine Ohh, I hear the waves call my name From the mountains down to the plains… South Carolina, you're where my heart runs wild From the Blue Ridge peaks to the Edisto Isle Palmetto moon, keep shinin' bright Through summer days and firelight nights Oh, Carolina, you're my sweet home No matter where I go, you're in my bones From the rivers to the sea, wherever I roam South Carolina, you're in my soul Ain't no place like the land I know Where the marsh grass sways and the peaches grow Where the past runs deep like the rivers wide And the future's strong with Southern pride South Carolina, you're where my heart runs wild From the Blue Ridge peaks to the Edisto Isle Palmetto moon, keep shinin' bright Through summer days and firelight nights Oh, Carolina, you're my sweet home No matter where I go, you're in my bones From the rivers to the sea, wherever I roam South Carolina, you're in my soul
