Me and Charlie Talking Lyrics

(Miranda Lambert, Rick Lambert & Heather Little)

Me and Charlie boy used to go walking
Sittin in the woods behind my house
When bein 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�d go walkin
That�s just me and Charlie talking

Charlie always said he�d like to leave here
So he turned 18 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
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
And you look up and it�s gone

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�d go walkin
That�s just me and Charlie talking

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we knew 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�d go walkin
That�s just me and Charlie
Me and Charlie talking
