Charlie’s Camper Keys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Charlie rolled in with a smile Signed the line and lit a fire Bought a camper, bought a car Packed our little life up hard You said, “Baby, we can roam” But that road took me from home One key for the front seat door One more heart knocked to the floor [Pre-Chorus] You kept saying, “Trust the plan” While you left me in the sand Now the engine starts to hum And I see just what you’ve done [Chorus] Charlie, take your keys Charlie, take your keys You bought the wheels Now take the leaves Charlie, take your keys Charlie, take your keys If you’re kicking out love Then don’t look back at me [Verse 2] Camper in the gravel lot New plates and a brand-new spot You moved fast, you moved cold Like a story getting sold I left a note on the dash Not a plea and not a flash Just two names and one goodbye And the dust you left behind [Pre-Chorus] You kept saying, “Trust the plan” While you left me in the sand Now the engine starts to hum And I see just what you’ve done [Chorus] Charlie, take your keys Charlie, take your keys You bought the wheels Now take the leaves Charlie, take your keys Charlie, take your keys If you’re kicking out love Then don’t look back at me [Bridge] Maybe someday you’ll feel How a home can turn to steel How a heart can learn to roll When the person leaves a hole So drive on, if you must Take your camper, take your dust But the moon knows what you did And it won’t forget that skid [Final Chorus] Charlie, take your keys Charlie, take your keys You bought the wheels Now take the leaves Charlie, take your keys Charlie, take your keys If you’re kicking out love Then don’t look back at me Charlie, take your keys Charlie, take your keys
