Charleston Girl (Live)

[00:13.53] Charleston girl in a darkened room
[00:16.78] And you don't know her like I do
[00:19.86] We took the fire escape to her room
[00:21.94] And got stoned, ragin' blind
[00:24.97] Left my money in the trustin' hands
[00:27.51] Of them ol' steel brothers and fast crash band
[00:30.96] One day, I'm gonna drive up there, and give them half my mind
[00:37.24]
[00:40.29] I don't know if it's the wine or the coke
[00:42.67] That makes her sound like her jaw is broke
[00:45.96] She's workin' hard to make some sense, but she ain't got a dime
[00:50.93] I wish to God that I could help her out
[00:53.75] I wish I knew what she was talkin' bout
[00:56.91] I wish to God that I could get away, but I'm way too drunk to drive
[01:02.39]
[01:06.69] All I know is that when I am good and sober
[01:10.95] I am leaving West Virginia for a while
[01:17.09] Don't know why but every time I cross that river
[01:21.64] Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, makes me wild
[01:26.89]
[01:44.99] Charleston girl with raven hair, bloodshot eyes and skin so fair
[01:51.01] I believe if I could find my keys, I'd try to drive away
[01:56.37] I never planned to leave so soon
[01:59.15] I didn't know that he was sweet on you
[02:01.97] Go ahead and take her
[02:04.02] 'Cause she ain't worth the time
[02:07.37]
[02:12.05] All I know is that when I am good and sober
[02:15.93] I am leaving West Virginia for a while
[02:22.43] Don't know why but every time I cross that river
[02:26.84] Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, makes me wild
[02:29.96]
