about

A song about the dead telling us living folk how lucky we are.

lyrics

HEY CHARLIE
©2021 Barney Miller

We bake birthday cakes
And we make mistakes
Lost the love of this life
For heaven's sakes

But I still got you
And I'm still here too
When we close our eyes
She passes thru

Hey Charlie
Hey Charlie
Hey Charlie
I hope that you're okay

Well they can cut you down
Knock you out of bounds
Well don't take that shit
Baby stand your ground

Cause you still got me
Right where I'll always be
I'll take a punch for you
Like I always do
Every God Damn day
Girl you know it's true

Hey Charlie
Hey Charlie
Hey Charlie
It's gonna' be okay

So don't hate yourself
Don't waste yourself
It's just a waste of time
We ain't dead yet
There's miles ahead
Think of four instead
Get out of that bed
Let's toast that bred
And get the doggies fed
Cause' we got love to spread
We got love, to spread

Hey Charlie
Hey Charlie
Hey Charlie
We're gonna' be okay

We bake birthday cakes
And we make mistakes
Well that's okay
That's okay
I said that that's okay

We're here right now
We're not dead yet
