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 stoned, ragin' blind Left my money in the trustin' hands Of them ol' steel brothers and fast crash 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 workin' 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 leaving 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 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 Songtexte All I know is that when I am good and sober I am leaving 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.
