Charly
Joan Sebastian
Charly
Down in the southern part of town
Where the moon's unfaithful
Charly's speeding like hell
Delivering pizzas to a motel
The scooter
Seems like an extension of him
It flies like an arrow
That night owl steed
In that part of town
A deal went south
The shooting started
How'd you cross paths, kid?
The scooter
The steed rolled on the ground
The t-shirt
Couldn't shield his heart
The sirens wail
That night has a story to tell
He lived on tips, on a small paycheck
And a big dream that’s now fleeting
Down in the southern part of town
Today they’re burying Charly
The news reported
They couldn't catch them!
Pretty girl
Crying for the kid
Why Charly? Why?
He never hurt anyone
The sirens wail
That night has a story to tell
He lived on tips, on a small paycheck
And a big dream that’s now fleeting
The sirens wail
That night has a story to tell
He lived on tips, on a small paycheck
Just a big dream and nothing more
