I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes
That's what I've 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 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
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
