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
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
