Girl From South Carolina

Verse 1

She’s got sun in her smile, sand in her hair

Barefoot on the dashboard, feet in the air

Sweet tea kiss on a July night

Fireflies dancing in her headlights

Friday night lights and a hand-me-down truck

Says she don’t need much, just a little luck

Pre-Chorus

Magnolias on the wind, moon on the rise

That Carolina blue in her eyes

Chorus

She’s a girl from South Carolina

Born with a drawl and a wild streak inside her

Palmetto dreams and a heart that won’t slow

From the coast to the pines, yeah, everybody knows

She’ll break you easy, love you harder

Under a long-neck sky getting a little bit louder

If heaven’s got a hometown sign

It points straight to a girl from South Carolina

Verse 2

She knows every back road, every dirt-road bend

Radio up, windows down, singing along with friends

Denim jacket, old boots worn thin

Laughs like trouble, prays like sin

Says she’ll leave someday, but she never does

That Lowcountry moon’s got her stuck on love

Pre-Chorus

Salt in the air, pine on the breeze

She’s got roots in the ground and a key to me

Chorus

She’s a girl from South Carolina

Sunburned shoulders and a heart made of fire

Sweet as Tupelo honey when she says my name

Cold as the ocean when she walks away

She’ll steal your breath, then steal your charger

Leave tire tracks straight through your armor

Yeah, I lost mine every time

To a girl from South Carolina

Bridge

If loving her’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right

I’d do it all over, every damn night

Under porch-light prayers and a preacher’s tone

She feels like forever, wrapped up in home

Breakdown (Half Chorus)

Yeah, she’s church bells and neon bars

Knows all my scars, still loves me hard

Final Chorus

She’s a girl from South Carolina

Raised on back seats and Carolina pines

From sunrise gold to a sunset wine

She’s trouble, she’s truth, she’s one of a kind

If I ever make it, or fall apart

It’ll trace right back to her southern heart

Yeah, I’d lose it all, cross every line

For a girl from South Carolina

Outro

Under a Carolina sky, she’s still on my mind

Yeah… that girl from South Carolina
