Charlie Pye

Still see that ball clear the wall

Almost hit the lights.

Man he was a highlight film

Every time he played.

Charlie Pye, Charlie Pye

Everyone knew his name.

Shooting star, shooting star

Be some one big someday.

Bankers son, the golden one

Would carry on the name.

Was everybody’s envy

Every girl’s dream.

The day he died

It all ceased to be.

Car hit a curve, swerved and crashed

Read about it on the news.

Doesn’t take too many years

No one thinks of you.

Haven’t thought about him

Seems like a hundred years.

Charlie Pye, Charlie Pye

Everyone knew his name.

Shooting star, shooting star

Be some one big someday.

Still see that ball clear the wall

Almost hit the lights.

Man he was a highlight film

anytime time he’d play.

Bankers son, the golden one

Would carry on the name.

Was everybody’s envy

Every girl’s dream.

The day he died

It all ceased to be.

Charlie Pye, Charlie Pye

Everyone knew his name.

Shooting star, shooting star

Be some one big someday.
