Sittin' here starin' out to sea
Beneath the swayin' palmetto trees
Makes me think about why I left home
On a path they said led to Rome
Why don't I take a road I ain't tried?
'Cause I'm on island time, in my mind
Ain't no one to answer to like a bandit on the run
Just want to watch the sun set over Charleston
Carolina ain't ever felt so right
As it does sittin' right here tonight
So when the calls roll in and they ask you where I've gone
Tell 'em 'I'll never come back', and hang up that phone
Why don't I take a road I ain't tried?
'Cause I'm on island time, in my mind
Ain't no one to answer to like a bandit on the run
Just want to watch the sun set over Charleston
And I've been searchin' every day and night
For a little fragment of paradise
And I think I found it
Yeah I think I found it
Why don't we dance through the evenin' lights?
'Cause the sky, baby, it's on fire tonight
I ain't stressin' a damn thing like a gypsy on the run
I'll just watch the sun set
I'll just watch the sun set
I'll just watch the sun set over Charleston
