She needs no introduction
She'll be waiting out by the civic center
And all the girls, they'll try to put her to a stop
But she'll clear out in a dust cloud shaped just like her
And she loves the rush, sips on her velvet crush
Thinking of the past loves in the Carolina sunshine
She keep tabs on all her boyfriends
One by one by her bedside they form a line
And as the following morning sneaks in
She'll ask the flavor of yesterday to resign
She thanks you very much for being her velvet crush
Freedom comes too fast, love in the Carolina sunshine
And all the leaves change colors
And days fade into others
And I just hope she knows that nothing is her fault
Nothing's been her fault
She is drunk and out of sorts now
She can hardly even reach the telephone
And as she wrestles with the demons that her story tells
She'll tell me that she can't bear to spend the night alone
And on her velvet crush I say I'll keep in touch
Like a rifle blast in the Carolina sunshine
