Me and Charlie Talking Lyrics

Artist: Miranda Lambert
Album: Kerosene

Me and Charlie Boy used to go walkin',
Sittinâ‚¬â„¢ in the woods behind my house.
When being lovers meant a stolen kiss and holding hands
with nobody else around.
Charlie said he wanted to get married
but we were only ten so weâ‚¬â„¢d have to wait.
He said weâ‚¬â„¢d never let our love run dry like so many do these days.

So we treat our love like a firefly,
like it only gets to shine for a little while.
Catch it in a mason jar, with holes in the top,
and run like hell to show it off!
Oh! Promises we made when weâ‚¬â„¢d go walkinâ‚¬â„¢...
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s just me and Charlie talkin'.

Charlie always said heâ‚¬â„¢d like to leave here,
so he turned eighteen and he left our sleepy town.
Letters came and went and I kept waiting for Charlie to come back
and bring the life heâ‚¬â„¢d found.
Funny how time and distance change you.
The road you take donâ‚¬â„¢t always lead you home.
You can start a love with good intentions,
and then you look up and itâ‚¬â„¢s gone.

So we treat our love like a firefly,
like it only gets to shine for a little while.
Catch it in a mason jar, with holes in the top,
and run like hell to show it off!
Oh! The promises we made when we'd go walkin'...
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s just me and Charlie talkin'.

Even now I sometimes think of Charlie.
How we thought we new it all back then.
Now Iâ‚¬â„¢d give anything to feel love from a childâ‚¬â„¢s heart again!

So we treat our love like a fire fly,
like it only gets to shine for a little while.
Catch it in a mason jar, with holes in the top,
and run like hell to show it off!
Oh! The promises we made when we'd go walkin'...
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s just me and Charlie talkin'.

Me and Charlie talkin'...
