I watched the taxi take her away
Through the window she4 was waving goodby
There wan't much left to say
Her last "I love you" was a lie
Did she leave me for somebody else
and just leave me behind
All she left me was by myself
And if that plane arrives on time (chorus)
Charlotte's in North Carolina
Back where she wanted to be
Charlotte's in North Carolina
And left me here in St. Louis misery Well, I was kinda hoping she'd call
To let me know she made it ok
Now that phone's driving me up the wall
It hasn't rung all day
I hope she finds what she's looking for
That's all that matters to me
Cause all it cost me was my heart
To set my sweet Charlotte free (chorus x 2)
