Charleston

Charleston, Charleston, all night ride just you and me
To that big river city by the side of the sea
Walking cobblestone streets and talking history
Eating fried green tomatoes that we got for free
Oh Charleston, just you and me.

Charleston, Charleston, watching pelicans dine with a big kerplunk
You’ve got an old resophonic in the back of your trunk
Let’s play us some blues and try to shake this funk,
We’ve got a couple of days, lets make ‘em feel like a month
Oh Charleston, just you and me

Spending all the money that we ain’t made yet,
But talk is cheap, so we ain’t in debt.
It’s hotter than peaches in the noonday sun
The spur of this moment is so much fun

Charleston, Charleston, midnight breakfast at the Waffle House
Oh it’s just this side of awful but it tastes so South,
The eggs are hard and the coffee ain’t barely brown,
But those grits sure taste might good going down,
Oh Charleston, just you and me, Charleston, by the side of the sea,
Oh Charleston, just you and me
