CHARLIE'S SHOES (Roy Baham) as recorded by Billy Walker November 20th 1961 Nashville I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, that's what I always said, He had you and everything tied with a golden thread. Then Charlie left and went away; when I got the news, It wasn't long till I was walkin' around in Charlie's shoes! Now I'm wearin' 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 in Charlie's shoes are killin' me! The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown; Every little dream I've built she's always tearin' 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 wearin' 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 in Charlie's shoes are killin' me!
