lyrics

- Leaving Charleston -

Evelyn's daddy was a son of a bitch
he was an alcoholic and he beat the kids
so we swore we'd leave the day she turned 15
borrowed her sister's car and pointed it west
thinking anywhere was better than the place we left
and the note we left her parents only said

We're riding towards the sun
Leaving Charleston
Me and her were done with everything

We will try baby
try to do the best we can
and we will ride baby
ride into the promised land

Lived in that beater for a couple of weeks
and we took some dirty pictures for some food to eat
it was bad but it was better than before
Every evening I would lie there awake
watching how the streetlights hit her face
and I'd fall asleep against her shoulderblade

Rising with the sun
Out of Charleston
Me and her were done with everything

We will try baby
try to do the best we can
and we will ride baby
ride into the promised land

Sold off the car to try make our ends meet
Evie spent her nights working on the streets
And we moved into a Greyhound terminal
Every tomorrow could be better I think
when she wanders back and is next to me
I just hold her close and whisper in her ear

Forget about the sun
We're out of Charleston
Me and her were done with everything

We will try baby
try to do the best we can
and we will ride baby
ride into the promised land
