You Can Have Charleston
Darius Rucker

You can have Charleston

The cobblestone streets

The steeples looking down

On the Battery

The Topsails and the Clydesdales

Pulling 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 try like hell

To smile and walk away, from

My home, my heart

Where I was born, where I was raised

Where one day they're gonna take my body

And lay it in a grave

My soul, don't wanna go

But it's got to be this way

It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye

But it'll kill me if I stay

You can have Charleston

It's really for the best

Girl, it's your town now

Plus I could never rest

There're too many ghosts on this old coast

Too many memories

It's where we met and we fell in love

It's where you cut me deep and made me bleed

From time to time

I might be passing through

But I promise you

That's all I'll do

You can have Charleston

I'll take these broken dreams

Load 'em in up in a suitcase

And see where it leads

Take 26 until I get

A million miles away

Try and start over

In a brand new place
