You gave her everything but your life Charlie
But you proudly made her your wife Charlie
Then you left her without leavin' and she could not understand
Doggone you Charlie what a man

But you send your kids a check every month Charlie
And you take 'em to the zoo twice a year Charlie
And you tell 'em they can count on you if they need a helping hand
Dang you Charlie what a man

Rock on Charlie and do your thing
Sing the song they'll need taught you to sing
Then put together pieces to somebody else's plan
Dang you Charlie what a man

Your price for livin's high but you look good Charlie
You've made your money buy the things it should Charlie
Acceptance in the country club and a golf date with your boss
Doggone you Charlie you're a hoss

Everything is working but your heart Charlie
If it stops again the doc said it won't start Charlie
And your wife sits there beside you with a sad look in her eye
Prayin' dang you Charlie please just die

Rock on Charlie and do your thing...
Now dang you Charlie what a man
