Oh Charlie Frye   Was the most charming guy   Ever part of my old truck stop town   He was some fashion plate   And he told me once he had fate   And mount for destiny and renowned   Well he caught me awhile   But then he’d smiled as dreamers smiled      And then he’d be gone    Till I say ‘Look here sir,    Take your boots off and stay   Or baby you can walk ‘em away   But I don’t want ‘em sleeping with me.’      Well our love was hardly blessed   And he finally confessed   There had been another girl   In his life   He said it was over he thought   But now he thought about her a lot   And the fourteen happy months   She was his wife      Oh, and I said    it was bad from the start   Living with your goddamn heart   Take it away   I can’t stand to hear it moan   Send it to   Her to care   Or baby you can follow it there   But I don’t want it sleeping with me      Well you know   It’s kind of a lift   At the end of the graveyard shift   Serving eggs at the dawn of every day      You know I’d be lying   If I said   I wasn’t watching    The road up ahead   I can tell his busted up car from miles away   But baby doll   He made his choice   So he fired his weary voice   Saying ‘I’ve come to rest my wounded heart’      I’d say ‘Hey, your pridesome too,    Hell, you can have some special on me   But I don’t want it sleeping by my side         Oh Charlie Frye   Was the most charming guy   Ever part of my old truck stop town   He was some fashion plate   And he told me once he had fate   And mount for destiny and renowned   Well he caught me awhile   But then he’d smiled as dreamers smiled      And then he’d be gone    Till I say ‘Look here sir,    Take your boots off and stay   Or baby you can walk ‘em away   But I don’t want ‘em sleeping with me.’
