Carolina Summer Nights

[Verse 1]
The sun’s high, the breeze is light,
Palmetto trees sway in the golden light.
Dirt roads lead to a hidden creek,
Kick off my boots, dip my feet in the deep.
The cicadas sing their sweet refrain,
As the fireflies dance in the evening rain.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the world slows down,
In this southern town.
Every moment feels like a dream,
Carolina’s got that summer gleam.

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s Carolina summer nights,
Stars like diamonds shining bright.
Sweet tea kisses, warm moonlight,
Everything’s better by the water’s side.
From the Lowcountry to the Pee Dee sky,
South Carolina, you’re my July.

[Verse 2]
Barbecue smoke fills the air,
Guitar strings strum without a care.
Salt on my skin from the ocean breeze,
Sandy toes and memories.
The marshlands hum a lullaby,
As the waves roll in, I’m feeling alive.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the world slows down,
In this southern town.
Every moment feels like a dream,
Carolina’s got that summer gleam.

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s Carolina summer nights,
Stars like diamonds shining bright.
Sweet tea kisses, warm moonlight,
Everything’s better by the water’s side.
From the Lowcountry to the Pee Dee sky,
South Carolina, you’re my July.

[Bridge]
Sunsets paint the sky in gold,
Stories in the stars unfold.
Heart’s full, soul’s free,
This is where I’m meant to be.

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s Carolina summer nights,
Stars like diamonds shining bright.
Sweet tea kisses, warm moonlight,
Everything’s better by the water’s side.
From the Lowcountry to the Pee Dee sky,
South Carolina, you’re my July.

[Outro]
Oh, Carolina, you’re my home,
In your arms, I’m never alone.
Summer fades, but the feeling stays,
In my heart, it’s always these days.
Oh, Carolina, you’re my July.
