South Carolina Meets Bachata

Lyrics: Sweet tea on ice... palm trees in the breeze. Wait, did a mosquito just bite me? (Giggle) Oh well, un, dos, tres, tap! [Verse 1] Drove down to the coast to see the sea Looking for peace and a cool ocean breeze Spanish moss hanging from a big oak tree And you standing there, looking right at me! You tried to act cool, tried to play it smooth Then tripped on a sand dune, making your move! [Pre-Chorus] (808 bass slides in with crisp güira and soft bongo taps) The air is so warm, my hair is a mess But you look at me like I’m in a pretty dress Sweet Southern charm, nothing to prove Stepping in the sand to this cute little groove! [Chorus] (Wide, catchy, stacked airy harmonies) Dancing in South Carolina, salty and sweet! Bugs are biting, but we’re moving our feet One, two, three, tap, under palm tree skies Lost in the magic of your Carolina eyes! Oh, South Carolina, you stole my heart tonight! (Spoken: Pass the sweet tea, baby!) [Post-Chorus / Guitar Break] (Playful, bright requinto guitar solo) Lowcountry love... Salty hair, don't care! [Verse 2] Walking down Charleston, side by side Eating shrimp and grits on a sunset ride A little bit romantic, a little bit silly too Falling for a boy who loves the ocean view My sandals came off, but I’m doing fine Bouncing to the rhythm, keeping in line! [Chorus] (Wide, catchy, stacked airy harmonies) Dancing in South Carolina, salty and sweet! Bugs are biting, but we’re moving our feet One, two, three, tap, under palm tree skies Lost in the magic of your Carolina eyes! Oh, South Carolina, you stole my heart tonight! [Bridge] (Airy tone, soft rhythm, ethereal pads) From Hilton Head shore to the beach and pier I’d brave any storm just to have you near! Poetic and sweet, happy and free That’s what this ocean breeze does to me! [Outro] (Guitar picking flourish fading over warm 808 sub-bass) South Carolina nights... Sweet tea, sweet love... Un, dos, tres, tap!
