I grew up in South Carolina

And gettin' all the people to sing along

To what I call...

C D G
South Carolina low country
C D G
Southern words with an old sandlapper tune
C D G G/F# Em
Palmetto trees swayin' in that Atlantic breeze

Reachin' up to touch the crescent moon
C D Em
South Carolina low country
C D G
Is the music that comes outta me
[Instrumental]
C D G C/G

I remember standin' in the warm sunshine

I came up with the music on my own
G
It's what I call...

Is the music that comes outta me
