Charlotte's In North Carolina Lyrics - A Tribute Album - Keith Whitley

I watched the taxi take her away 

Through the window she4 was waving goodby 

There wan't much left to say 

Her last "I love you" was a lie 

Did she leave me for somebody else 

and just leave me behind 

All she left me was by myself 

And if that plane arrives on time 

(chorus) 

Charlotte's in North Carolina 

Back where she wanted to be 

Charlotte's in North Carolina 

And left me here in St. Louis misery 

Well, I was kinda hoping she'd call 

To let me know she made it ok 

Now that phone's driving me up the wall 

It hasn't rung all day 

I hope she finds what she's looking for 

That's all that matters to me 

Cause all it cost me was my heart 

To set my sweet Charlotte free 

(chorus x 2)
