Me And Charlie Talking Lyrics - Miranda Lambert

1 Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, sittin' in the woods behind my house

2 Being lovers meant a stolen kiss and holding hands with nobody else around

3 Charlie said he wanted to get married but we were only ten so we'd have to wait

4 He said we'd never let our love run down like so many do these days

5 So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only gets to shine for a little while

6 Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top; run like hell to show it off

7 Oh promises were made when we'd go walkin'; that's just me and Charlie talking

8 Charlie always said he'd like to leave here; turned eighteen and left our sleepy town

9 Letters came and went and I kept waiting for Charlie to come back and bring the life he'd found

10 It's funny how time and distance change you. The road you take don't always lead you home

11 You can start a love with good intentions, and you look up and it's gone

12 So we treat our love like a firefly like it only gets to shine for a little while

13 Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top; run like hell to show it off

14 Oh the promises we made when we were walking; that's just me and Charlie talking

15 Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie and how we thought we new it all back then

16 Now I'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart again

17 So we treat our love like a fire Fly like it only gets to shine for a little while

18 Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top; run like hell to show it off

19 Oh the promises were made when we were walking; that's just me and Charlie talking
