Joe South - Walk A Mile In My Shoes lyrics

rate me

If I could be you, if you could be me

For just one hour

If we could find a way

To get inside each other's minds

If you could see you, through my eyes

Instead of your ego

I believe you'd be, surprised to see

That you'd been blind.

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes.

Now if your world you see around you

Is just a reflection

And the law of carma says you gonna reap

Just what you sow

So unless you've lived the life

Of total perfection

You'd better be careful

Of every stone that you should throw.

And if we spend the day

Throwin' stones at one another

Cause I don't think or wear my hair

Same way you do

Well I may be common people

but I your brother

And when you strike out and try to hurt me

It's a-hurtin' you. Lord have Mercy!

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey before you abuse, criticise, and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes.

There are people on reservations

And out in the ghettos

And brother there

But for the grace of God go you and I

And if I only

Had the wings of a little angel, Yea

Don't you know I'd fly to the top of a mountain

And then I'd cry...

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey before you abuse, criticise, and accuse

Better walk a mile in my shoes.

"Try to know what you're doin"

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey before you abuse, criticise, and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes.
