| 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 build 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 |
