I´D LIKE TO BE IN CHARLIE´S SHOES
THAT´S WHAT I ALWAYS SAID
CAUSE HE HAD YOU AND EV´RYTHING TIED WITH A GOLDEN THREAD
THEN CHARLIE LEFT AND WENT AWAY

AND WHEN I GOT THE NEWS, IT WASN´T LONG
TILL I WAS WALKIN´ ´ROUND IN CHARLIE´S SHOES
NOW I´M WEARING OUT THE SHOES THAT CHARLIE WORE
WALKIN´ BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE FLOOR
THE TROUBLES THAT DROVE HIM AWAY I´VE GOT FOR COMPANY
THESE NIGHTS SINCE CHARLIE´S SHOES ARE KILLIN´ ME
THE GREENER GRASS THAT TURNED MY HEAD
SO SWIFTLY DID TURN BROWN
´CAUSE EV´RY LITTLE DREAM I BUILD SHE´S ALWAYS TEARIN´ DOWN
I NEVER KNEW THAT CHARLIE´S SHOES
COULD HAVE SO MANY TACKS OF DISAPPOINTING SORROWS AND I WISH HE HAD ´EM BACK
