Id like to be in Charlies shoes thats 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 wasnt long till I was walking round in Charlies shoes

Now Im wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore
Walking back and forth across the floor
The troubles that drove him away Ive got for company
These nights in Charlies shoes are killing me

The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown
Cause every little dream Ive built shes always tearing down
I never knew old Charlies shoes could have so many tacks
Of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had em back

Now Im wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore
Walking back and forth across the floor
The troubles that drove him away Ive got for company
These nights in Charlies shoes are killing
