[Verse]
She might grab lunch at Skeenies
Or make a stop at Buddy Bees
Crusing down route 21
She knows just what she needs
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse]
She spent her teenage years
Working so hard at the mall
Chinese food, fruit and clothing
Man, you know she did it all
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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.
[Final Chorus]
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
