I was sittin' in a honky tonk in Texas drinkin' beer
Tryin' to find some peace of mind from a broken love affair
When she walked right up and said, hey boy, you sure look down to me
If you got the blues, maybe you could use, some feminine company
And her eyes were green like few ain't seen and her hair was the color of the sun
A Leo child with a Texas smile, I knew right then, I should run
She said, I've lost a few just like you, you know I've felt the pain
But you can't stay down, so dance this round and Charley is my name
Needless to say, I spent the night with Charley by my side
The days to come were filled with fun, as we took love for a ride
She laughed and cried whenever I'd say, love is just a game
And through her tear she'd say, I'm real and Charley is my name
And her eyes were green like few ain't seen and her hair was the color of the sun
A Leo child with a Texas smile, I wish I never had run
Now it's down a road that will never end, somehow it's not the same
And through my tears I can see her smile sayin', Charley is my name
And through my tears I can see her smile sayin', Charley is my name
