Walk a Mile in My Shoes Songtext
von Jerry Lee Lewis
Walk a Mile in My Shoes Songtext
If I could be you, and you can be me for just one hour
If you could find a way to get inside each other′s mind
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be so surprised to see that you′ve been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Now your whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of common says "You're gonna reap just what you sow"
So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
You′d better be careful of every stone, Lord, that you throw
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
And yet we spend the whole day throwing stones at one another
′Cause I don't think or wear my hair the same way that you do
You better listen to me now
Well, I may be common people, but I′m still your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me, you're hurtin′ your own self too
Just walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Yes, there are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there but for the grace of God go you and I
If I only had the wings of a little angel
Don't you know, I′d fly to the top of the big ol' mountain, ol' Jerry Lee would cry?
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Lord, walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
If you could find a way to get inside each other′s mind
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be so surprised to see that you′ve been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Now your whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of common says "You're gonna reap just what you sow"
So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
You′d better be careful of every stone, Lord, that you throw
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
And yet we spend the whole day throwing stones at one another
′Cause I don't think or wear my hair the same way that you do
You better listen to me now
Well, I may be common people, but I′m still your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me, you're hurtin′ your own self too
Just walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Yes, there are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there but for the grace of God go you and I
If I only had the wings of a little angel
Don't you know, I′d fly to the top of the big ol' mountain, ol' Jerry Lee would cry?
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Lord, walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Walk a mile in my shoes (walk a mile in my shoes)
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
