Charlies' Shoes - Dave Dudley

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
