At the foot hills of the Appalachian chain,
Down through the rivers, to the coastal plain,
There's a place that I call home,
And I'll never be alone,
Singin' this Carolina love song
I've got South Carolina on my mind
Remembering all those sunshine Summertimes,
And the Autumns in the Smokies
when the leaves turn to gold
Touches my heart and thrills my soul
to have South Carolina on my mind,
With those clean snow-covered
mountain Wintertimes
And the white sand of the beaches
and those Carolina peaches,
I've got South Carolina on my mind.
I'm grown now with a family of my own
In a place that all my kids are callin' home.
And I love this life I'm livin',
And thank God for all He's givin',
But my heart sings a Carolina love song
I've got South Carolina on my mind
Remembering all those sunshine Summertimes,
And the Autumns in the Smokies
when the leaves turn to gold
Touches my heart and thrills my soul
to have South Carolina on my mind,
With those clean snow-covered mountain Wintertimes
And the white sand of the beaches
and those Carolina peaches,
I've got South Carolina on my mind.
