You Can Have Charleston

You can have Charleston
The cobblestone streets
The steeples looking down on The Battery
The top sails and the clydesdales, pullin' people all around
The ocean breeze and the live oak trees
God, I'm gonna miss this town
But you can have Charleston
I'll pack up and leave
Maybe find a spot on the West Coast, give you lots of room to breathe
With your new life and your new love, I won't get in your way
I'll just wish you well and I'll try like Hell, to smile and walk away

From my home and my heart, where I was born and raised
Where one day they're gonna take my body and lay it in a grave
No my soul, don't wanna go
But its gotta be this way
It's gonna break my heart to say goodbye
But it'll kill me if I stay

So you can have Charleston

It's really for the best
Girl, it's your town now, plus, I can never rest
There are too many ghosts on this old coast, too many memories
It's where we met and we fell in love

And where you cut me deep and you made me bleed

In my home, in my heart, where I was born and raised
Where one day they're gonna take my body and lay it in a grave
No my soul, don't wanna go
But its gotta be this way
It's gonna break my heart to say goodbye
But it'll kill me if I stay

From time to time, I might be passin' through
But I promise you, that's all I'll do

You can have Charleston
I'll take these broken dreams
Load 'em up in a suitcase and see where it leads
I'll take 26 until I get a million miles away
I'll try and start all over in a brand new place

Oh...
You can have Charleston
Take care of Charleston
Oh...
You can have Charleston
