Lyrics
Charleston, South Carolina
I?m leaving you
all my tears and confusion
I?m headed south
to a warmer shore
You called it loving
I call it losing
when I can?t think
for myself anymore
I?ve got just one important thing to do
I?ve got to find the girl I was
before I met you
Chorus:
I?m gonna find her
in Charleston South Carolina
out in the sunshine
with friends she?s known
all her life
that?s where her mind gets
clear as a diamond
I?m gonna find her
in Charleston, South Carolina
Someday I might
even thank you
it took a lot for me
to see that I was lost
the pain I felt
was the wind that propelled me
chased me down
to hot pink flowers and Spanish Moss
and underneath a golden island moon
a butterfly is just emerging
from her dark cocoon
(repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
I will find her in a picture
in a house on the Battery
In her eyes
I?ll find the joy of who she used to be
