Oh Charlie Frye
Was the most charming guy
Ever part of my old truck stop town
He was some fashion plate
And he told me once he had fate
And mount for destiny and renowned
Well he caught me awhile
But then he’d smiled as dreamers smiled
And then he’d be gone
Till I say ‘Look here sir,
Take your boots off and stay
Or baby you can walk ‘em away
But I don’t want ‘em sleeping with me.’
Well our love was hardly blessed
And he finally confessed
There had been another girl
In his life
He said it was over he thought
LyricsBut now he thought about her a lot
And the fourteen happy months
She was his wife
Oh, and I said
it was bad from the start
Living with your goddamn heart
Take it away
I can’t stand to hear it moan
Send it to
Her to care
Or baby you can follow it there
But I don’t want it sleeping with me
Well you know
It’s kind of a lift
At the end of the graveyard shift
Serving eggs at the dawn of every day
You know I’d be lying
If I said
I wasn’t watching
The road up ahead
I can tell his busted up car from miles away
But baby doll
He made his choice
So he fired his weary voice
Saying ‘I’ve come to rest my wounded heart’
I’d say ‘Hey, your pridesome too,
Hell, you can have some special on me
But I don’t want it sleeping by my side
