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 '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
