I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, that's what I always said* |
|
'Cause he had you and everything tied with a golden thread |
|
Then Charlie left and went away and when I got the news |
|
It wasn't long till I was walking 'round in Charlie's shoes |
|
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore |
|
Walking back and forth across the floor |
|
The troubles that drove him away, I've got for company |
|
These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me |
|
The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown |
|
'Cause every little dream I've built she's always tearing down |
|
I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks |
|
Of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had 'em back |
|
'Cause I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore |
|
Walking back and forth across the floor |
|
The troubles that drove him away, I've got for company |
|
These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me |
