Headlights on the highway
I saw her by the side of the road
She said her name was Charlotte
And she's travellin' with a heavy load
I knew I had to have her
I knew she was mine
She climbed up beside me
We headed for the county line

Guess I never saw her comin'

Charlotte
There's blood and oil on my hands
Charlotte
I sold you to another man

First time she kissed me
Lightnin' crossed the sky
Bare feet on the dashboard
Torment in my mind
Charlotte, forgive me
I thought you were mine
Ooh forgive me
I thought that you were mine

Guess you never saw me comin'

Charlotte,
There's blood and oil on my hands
Charlotte
I sold you to another man

When we broke down in Emery
I couldn't pay the price
I took to drinkin' whisky
To get luck on my side
My cards on the table
His eyes on the prize
I made a deal with that devil
Money for your life

Just enough to keep me runnin'

Charlotte
There's blood and oil on my hands
Charlotte
I sold you to another man

"You been runnin' since you left me
Travellin' from coast to coast
But when the rain hits the black top
Always see my ghost"

Your headlights on the highway
You'll see her by the side of the road
She'll say her name is Charlotte
She's travellin' with a heavy load
