Me and your cigarettes

(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 weÂ’d have to wait
He said weÂ’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 weÂ’d go walkin
ThatÂ’s just me and Charlie talking

Charlie always said heÂ’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 heÂ’d found
Funny how time and distance change you
The road you take
DonÂ’t always lead you home
You can start a love with good intentions
And you look up and itÂ’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 weÂ’d go walkin
ThatÂ’s just me and Charlie talking

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we knew it all back then
Now IÂ’d give anything to feel love
From a childÂ’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 weÂ’d go walkin
ThatÂ’s just me and Charlie
Me and Charlie talking
