My Charleston Girl

She might grab lunch at Skeenies

Or make a stop at Buddy Bees

Crusing down route 21

She knows just what she needs

At Tupper’s Valley Baptist church

Praising the Lord on Sunday

She’d sing a song of worship

Then she’d bow her head and pray

First and second or Derrick’s

I tell you she knows all them creeks

She knows every place around

And she can go on for weeks

Don’t tell her she’s from Wolf Pen

Even though she spent time there

She graduated from Sissonville

But you know she just don’t care

She’ll tell you she’s from Charleston

Because her address said so

Now don’t you try and argue

Man, you best just let it go

She’ll say I’m a Charleston girl

With a gleam in her blue eyes

Those country girls are stubborn

So it should come as no surprise

She was raised up in the country

But she worked there in the city

So if she’s a Charleston girl

Man, the girls there must be pretty

You know she’s my whole world…

My Charleston girl

She spent her teenage years

Working so hard at the mall

Chinese food, fruit and clothing

Man, you know she did it all

Later on in her twenties

She worked for A T and T

And that’s when things got so good

Because that’s where she met me

So I guess that I’ll admit it

I guess that I can give in

And say she’s a Charleston girl

Because either way I win

Don’t tell her she’s from Wolf Pen

Even though she spent time there

She graduated from Sissonville

But you know she just don’t care

She’ll tell you she’s from Charleston

Because her address said so

Now don’t you try and argue

Man, you best just let it go

She’ll say I’m a Charleston girl

With a gleam in her blue eyes

Those country girls are stubborn

So it should come as no surprise

She was raised up in the country

But she worked there in the city

So if she’s a Charleston girl

Man, the girls there must be pretty

You know she’s my whole world…

My Charleston girl

Charleston girl in a darkened room.

And you don't know her like I do.

We took the fire escape to her room.

And man, we had such a time.

Don’t tell her she’s from Wolf Pen

Even though she spent time there

She graduated from Sissonville

But you know she just don’t care

She’ll tell you she’s from Charleston

Because her address said so

Now don’t you try and argue

Man, you best just let it go

She’ll say I’m a Charleston girl

With a gleam in her blue eyes

Those country girls are stubborn

So it should come as no surprise

She was raised up in the country

But she worked there in the city

So if she’s a Charleston girl

Man, the girls there must be pretty

You know she’s my whole world…
