Charlie Lyrics

On the night that he left home

He packed up everything he owned

Though his mama stood in the door

He knew it was time to go

Now he's a dog without a bone

But he's stoked he caught the fifty-four

To the rundown stage at the back of some dirty bar

It's all he knows

But his momma don't think that he's gonna make it too far

And his daddy don't think that he's gonna be a big star

Star, star, yeah

When he rolled up, to the show

The sound guy was getting stoned

He said no one seems to come for rock and roll anymore

At least not tonight

Now he's walkin' to the stage

Every night it's make or break

When the light goes down in a new part of town

The people know that he don't play around, yeah

But his momma don't think that he's gonna make it too far

And his daddy don't think that he's gonna be a big star

And his friends they don't think that he'll make it out of the bars

Now Charlie go show the world just who you are

Charlie know momma won't come around

Cause she never sets foot in this part of town

Charlie feels it comin when he makes a sound

Can you hear him now?

Can you hear him now?

But his momma don't think that he's gonna make it too far

And his daddy don't think that he's gonna be a big star

And his friends don't think that he's gonna make it

Nobody thinks that he's gonna make it

Now Charlie go show the world just who you are
