Verse 1:
G
 Kenny was delivered in an Illinois storm
       Am7
And he grew about as crazy as the day he was born
          C                                       G
There was fire in the child that only his parents saw

Verse 2:
G

It wasn′t very long before the whole town knew
   Am7
If trouble came along, then Kenny came too
C                                            G
  They were holdin' out hope he′d caught the law

Verse 3:
G
A bit of old religion, a bit of north tea
       Am7
All he needed was a kettle with some water and leaves
      C                                               G
Oh he added nothin' to it and called it The Christian Way

Verse 4:
G
The preacher couldn't change him, maybe nobody could
        Am7
But his daddy was a deacon and a man of the woods
      C                                              G
Said, son, you′ll find a woman to straighten you out someday

Chorus:
G
Well, Kenny moved south and he met the one
    C                C7
The Midwest lost its favorite son
           G               Em       Am7       D
Cause that crazy kid calls Carolina home
         G                       G7
Well, he liked it plain, but she liked it sweet
        C                    C7
So they settled somewhere in between
        G        Am7    D                 G
Oh they mixed it up and called it half n′ half

Verse 5:
G
Well, Kenny settled down, had a couple of kids
      Am7
Had a blonde-haired maniac just like him
C                                                    G
  He knew his mom was laughin' cause she prayed this day would come

Verse 6:
G
He told the boy a story how Illinois shame
      Am7
Met a grace as sweet as summer rain
C                                          G
  And he said, boy, don′t forget where you came from

Chorus:
G
Cause Kenny moved south and he met the one
    C                C7
The Midwest lost its favorite son
           G               Em       Am7     D
Cause that crazy kid calls Carolina home
         G                       G7
Well, he liked it plain, but she liked it sweet
        C                    C7
So they settled somewhere in between
        G        Am7    D                 G
Oh they mixed it up and called it half n' half

Bridge:
G
Well, the boy moved north and he found a wife
    C                C7
The mountains shook, Carolina cried
       G                     Em                      Am7   D
If you live close by, you′ll hear James Taylor sing
        G              G7
But the people up here treat me nice
      C                         C7
And I can't drive far cause the roads are ice
     G         Am       Am7     D       G
So I guess for now just call me half n′ half

Oh they mixed it up and called it half n' half
