Charlie's Shoes

(Roy Baham)



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

Around 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 that Charlie's shoes

Could have so many tacks

Of disappointing sorrows

And I wish he had 'em back.



'Cause I'm wearing out...
