The South Carolina State Song

South Carolina On My Mind
written and recorded by Hank Martin and Buzz Arledge

   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.
