I'm standin here in Richmond in the rain
Yeah she threw me out again
'Cause I spent all my pay on booze
I can't believe she had the nerve
I guess I got what I deserve
She was all that I had left to lose
But it's cold here in Richmond tonight
And my car is pointed south on I95
I think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
And build a castle in the sand
And never come home to you
I'll put on the radio and find some rock n roll
Where the night is all my own
No one to wonder where I've been
About the time I make north of Cheraw
She'll be expectin me to call
And beggin' to let her man back in
But tonight, girl, you can sit there by the phone
'Cause tonight you know that I don't think he's comin home
RI think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
And build a castle in the sand
And never come home to you
I think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
And build a castle in the sand
And never come home to you
I'm standin here in Richmond in the rain
Yeah she threw me out again
'Cause I spent all my pay on booze
