[Intro]
G D C G G D C D
[Verse]
G D C G
Well, Charlie was a mullet man, had been all his life
G D C D
He had long hair runnin down his back and short hair on the sides
G D C G
He sired fourteen different kids with thirteen different wives
G D C G
Now here''s the story of white-trash Charlie and his s**tty life
[Verse]
G D C G
Well, Charlie lives down by the river in a run-down trailer court
G D C D
He had two rooms in a run-down shack with holes in the floor
G D C G
He had a t-top firebird that he parked out on the lawn
G D C G
But now it just sits on blocks because the motor''s blown
[Chorus]
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - What have you done so wrong?
G D C D
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - You got rocks for a lawn
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - Here comes a tornado
G D C G
Better get the tires up on the roof, ''fore you lose your happy home
[Verse]
G D C G
Well Charlie had some neighbors he really didn''t like
G D C D
Yeah, one''s in methamphetimines and one is his ex-wife
G D C G
And then there was the one, who lived two trailers down
G D C G
She said her name was Bambi - she strips in the next town
[Verse]
G D C G
Now Charlie never was one for being shy
G D C D
He kinda liked ol'' Bambi, thought he''d give her a try
G D C G
He walked over to her trailer, with a case of Stag
G D C G
And by the time they had it drunk, he got her in the sack
[Chorus]
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - What have you done so wrong?
G D C D
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - You got rocks for a lawn
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - Here comes a tornado
G D C G
Better get the tires up on the roof, ''fore you lose your happy home
[Verse]
G D C G
Well Charlie''s love for Bambi, it just grew and grew
G D C D
He fell in love the very first time that they ever screwed
G D C G
Ol'' Charlie he was older than ol'' Bambi was
G D C G
I guess twenty years ain''t that much when you''re in love
[Verse]
G D C G
They moved in together in Charlie''s two-room shack
G D C D
He went and bought a stock tank for a swimmin pool out back
G D C G
They''d spend nights out in the pool, just a case of beer and them
G D C G
Well, they had the time there of their lives, even though they couldn''t swim
[Chorus]
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - What have you done so wrong?
G D C D
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - You got rocks for a lawn
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - Here comes a tornado
G D C G
Better get the tires up on the roof, ''fore you lose your happy home
[Verse]
G D C G
Well, Charlie he got married to sweet Bambi-sue
G D C D
Oh, Bambi she got pregnant, an'' the baby is due soon
G D C G
Charlie''s kinda worried about the baby''s health
G D C G
There is one thing that he neglected, one thing he didn''t tell
[Verse]
G D C G
Charlie he told Bambi, We need a heart to heart
G D C D
There''s something that I need to say, will shock you from the start
G D C G
I hope that you don''t leave me, I hope it isn''t bad
G D C G|
But my sweet darlin'' Bambi-Sue, I''m your lover and your Dad
