Charleston Girl Lyrics
Charleston girl in a darkened room
And you don't know her like I do
We took the fire escape to her room
And got stone-raging blind
Left my money in the trusting hands
Of them old Steel Brothers in a fastgrass band
One day I'm gonna drive up there
And give them half my mind
I don't know if it's the wine or the coke
That makes her sound like her jaw is broke
She's working hard to make some sense
But she ain't got a dime
I wish to God that I could help her out
I wish I knew what she was talkin' bout
I wish to God that I could get away
But I'm way too drunk to drive
All I know is that when I am good and sober
I am leavin' West Virginia for a while
Don't know why, but every time I cross that river
Lord, there's somethin' tears me up and makes me wild
Charleston girl with raven hair
Bloodshot eyes and skin so fair
I believe if I could find my keys
I'd try to drive away
I never planned to leave so soon
I didn't know that he was sweet on you
Go ahead and take her
Cause she ain't worth the time
All I know is that when I am good and sober
I am leavin' West Virginia for a while
Don't know why but every time I cross that river
Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, makes me wild
And you don't know her like I do
We took the fire escape to her room
And got stone-raging blind
Of them old Steel Brothers in a fastgrass band
One day I'm gonna drive up there
And give them half my mind
That makes her sound like her jaw is broke
She's working hard to make some sense
But she ain't got a dime
I wish I knew what she was talkin' bout
I wish to God that I could get away
But I'm way too drunk to drive
I am leavin' West Virginia for a while
Don't know why, but every time I cross that river
Lord, there's somethin' tears me up and makes me wild
Bloodshot eyes and skin so fair
I believe if I could find my keys
I'd try to drive away
I didn't know that he was sweet on you
Go ahead and take her
Cause she ain't worth the time
I am leavin' West Virginia for a while
Don't know why but every time I cross that river
Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, makes me wild
