about

This song is about Tim's grandpa, who happens to be named Charles.

lyrics

Charlie was born in a holler on a hill
Nice old shack and a country still
He made that lightning white hot
He made that lightning you drink till you drop
He said I'm gonna go to the otherside
Well oh Lord, the otherside

He grew up long and lean
Finest man any woman had ever seen
But that poison was in the ground
And he said Lord I aint gonna go down
Well I'm gonna go to the otherside
Oh Lord, the otherside

When it was time for him to die
A band of angels was at his side
And they played music from above
Well oh Lord that heaven sung
It said your gonna go to the otherside
Oh Lord, the otherside
