lyrics

Sometimes I was so high that I couldn't take the call
Petrified but I don't think she ever knew at all
And we never talk about the guilt
And I'll never write a song about it
Seems kinda silly now that Charlie's gone
Sounds kinda stupid now that Charlie's gone

Black gold called my daddy and it led him far from home
Hardscrabble Texas earth can tear you to the bone
But he chased that pipe just to stay alive
From Waco to Sadona
Yeah that seems like a long way now that Charlie's gone
Sounds kinda stupid now that Charlie's gone

April makes it six years since you left us
April makes it six years since I cried
And April sure is cold here in Indiana
Makes it hard to lick my wounded pride
Now that Charlie's gone
Sounds kinda stupid now that Charlie's gone
