Billy Walker - Charlie's Shoes lyrics

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 'til 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
