You Can Have Charleston Lyrics - Southern Style - Darius Rucker

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
