Charlottesville

Cheraw to Charlottesville
In my old red jeep
I stare at the headlights
While you fall asleep
I'm a long way from happy
And a long way from home
Though we ride together
We travel alone

The people who love me
Got left behind
My mother, my sister
Back in Caroline
I'm out on this highway
Feeling battered and bruised
Yet I keep on trying
To hold on to you

Chorus
Why do I play this game
When I don't know the rules
Why do I play this game
When I know that I'll lose
Charlottesville

Charlottesville to Cheraw
We're headed back home
A thousand cars on this road
Still I feel alone

Cause you're afraid of forever
And scared of the words
That you hear so often
But I've never heard

Chorus
Why do I play this game
When I don't know the rules
Why do I play this game
When I know that I'll lose
Charlottesville

Bridge
I'm not playing this game
I'm through playing the fool
For you
