Charlottesville

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Troopers on Highway 29 Hiding behind the trees that line The road down to Virginia from D.C Thank you, I swear that I'll slow down But I'm still a half an hour from town And there's a couch that's been made up for me And someone waiting anxiously [Refrain] In Charlottesville In Charlottesville [Verse 2] I know you're only being kind But kindness is hard enough to find And I'll pretend you don't avoid his name That really isn't why I came [Refrain] To Charlottesville Charlottesville [Verse 3] Bourbon and humidity in a sovereign colony Why do you pretend you're free when you feel your will Bending in the night like these Antebellum balconies In the sultry summer breeze, how can you keep still? [Refrain] In Charlottesville In Charlottesville In Charlottesville
