Walk A Mile In My Shoes:Joe South.
#12 in 1970.
INTRO:
#1.
If I could be you, and you could be me, for just one hour.
If we could find, a way to get inside, each others mind.
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.
Mmm..mmm.
CHORUS:
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
walk a mile in my shoes.
#2.
Well, 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..
mm-mm, you'd better be careful, of every stone, that you should throw.
#3.
Yet, we spend the day, throwing 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'm your brother.
And when you strike out, and try to hurt me, it's a hurtin' you.
Lord have mercy.
CHORUS:
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
walk a mile in my shoes.
#4.
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 little Angels, don'tcha you know I'd fly,
to the top of the mountain, and then I'd cry.
CHORUS:
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
walk a mile in my shoes.
CHORUS:
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
walk a mile in my shoes.
OUTRO:
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
walk a mile in my shoes.
