Intro  
G  C  Em  D 

Verse 
 G 
Mmm that breeze feels good don't it 
 C 
Feet up on the cooler 
     Em 
Them tunes pouring out of that sliding rear window 
 D 
Laugh to the beat of that tape deck radio 

 G 
Mmm it's a heaven on earth moment 
 C 
Got a good thing going 
 Em 
Round and round like the wheels of this Mac 
       D 
It's a singing along kiss, close your eyes 

Chorus 
        G 
I don't like this living, I love it 
         C 
Sweet magnolia blue sky up above it 
        Em 
I don't call Carolina just a place I visit 
  D 
I call Carolina home 

        G 
I don't like drinking beer, I love it 
       C 
On the back porch swinging with my honey 
           Em 
Life's too short just to like it so you better get to loving 
      D 
This living before it's gone 

            G 
Life's too short 

                                       C 
Better get to living if the beer's ice cold 
                                               Em 
You better get to sipping if the song's in the air 
                                     D 
Get you out a lighter if the party's rocking 
                                         G 
You pull an all-nighter 'Cause life's too short 

        C      Em     D 
Woah   Woah   Woah   Woah 

Verse 
 G 
Mmm that six string's Humming, ain't it 
C 
This scene's all God painted 
Em                              D 
I'm soaking you in while you're soaking it in 

It's like a movie baby, ain't it 
D 
Oh don't waste it 

Chorus 
        G

I call Carolina home
