Me And Charlie Talking Lyrics - Kerosene - Miranda Lambert

Me and Charlie boy used to go walking 

Sittin' 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 we'd have to wait 

He said, "We'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 we go walkin' 

And that's just me and Charlie talking

Charlie always said, "He'd like to live here" 

Turned eighteen and left our sleepy town 

Letters came and went and I kept waiting 

For Charlie to come back and bring the life he'd found 

It's funny how time and distance change you 

The road you take don't always lead you home 

You can start a love with good intentions 

Then you look up and it's gone 

So you treat our love like a firefly 

Like it only gets to shine but for a little while 

You catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top 

And run like hell to show it off 

Oh promises we made when we go walking 

That's just me and Charlie talking 

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie 

How we thought we new it all back then 

Now I'd give anything to feel love 

From a child's heart again 

So you treat your 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 we go walking 

And that's just me and Charlie, me and Charlie talking
