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
