Charlie Boy - Cindy Doire

Oh Charlie Boy watcha gonna do now

The sheriff's caught your scent and

Dakota's back in town

Them crows are gettin' closer and those footsteps are gettin' loud

It seems you're walking down last

Chance Avenue

You got your collar to the wind and not a hair outta place

Storm clouds rage behind your eyes and that scar on your face

You'd never know by your sickle smile

That you're on the wrong side of the chase

But the rings around your eyes are gonna tell on you

I'm still wrapped round your arm like

That bracelet you bought on 5th and main

Danglin' in your pocket like your gold watch and chain

I've never asked you any questions you've never told me any lies

How'd you get that blood on your hands tonight

You used to take me dancing at the

Belmont Hotel

Now we're held up in this dive on the outskirts of town

You jump when you hear the telephone

And shades are pulled down

Oh Charlie boy watcha gonna do now

Charlie you know I love you that you should have stuck

With the small time stuff

But I know that too good ain't ever true and

Just good ain't good enough I hope you

Gotta an ace up your sleeve when the going gets tough

And you paid your dues to lady luck

Ever since I was sixteen

We've been thick and we've been thin

And I've stuck to you like those tattoos

You've got carved into your skin

For the last couple of month's

Tried my best at being brave

You used to take me dancing at the Belmont Hotel

Now we're held up in this dive on the outskirts of town

You jump when you hear the telephone and all the shades are pulled down

Oh Charlie boy Oh Charlie boy watcha gonna do now

Last night

At half past midnight or quarter past a bad dream

Heard you loading your pistol in the bathroom

While I pretended to sleep

You slipped on your shoes

Kissed me on the cheek

Oh Charlie boy what have you done now
