Intro: Gm Am7 Bb Bb/C
hey Charlie I'm pregnant
and living on the 9th street right above a dirty bookstore
of euclid avenue and I stopped takin dope
and I quit drinkin whiskey and my old man plays the trombone and works out at the track and he says that he loves me
even though its not his baby and he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son and he gave me a ring that was worn by his mother and he takes me out dancin every saturday night. and hey Charlie I think about you
everytime I pass a fillin station on account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair and I still have that record of little anthony & the Imperials
but someone stole my record player now how do you like that? hey Charlie I almost went crazy Fadd9/A after mario got busted so I went back to omaha to live with my folks but everyone I used to know
was either dead or in prison
Fadd9/A so I came back to Minneapolis this time I think i'm gonna stay.
hey Charlie I think I'm happy
for the first time since my accident and I wish I had all the money
that we used to spend on dope i'd buy me a used car lot and I wouldn't sell any of em
i'd just drive a different car every day, dependin on how I feel
hey Charlie for chrissakes
do you want to know the truth of it? i don't have a husband
he don't play the trombone and I need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer
Charlie, hey
i'll be eligible for parole come valentines day
