Charlie's Shoes

Charlie's Shoes - Billy Walker

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

Oh Charlie left and went away

When I got the news

It wasn't long

Till I was walking around in Charlie's shoes

Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore

Just 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

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 them back

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
