Walk A Mile In My Shoes - Joe South
If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour If we could finda 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 Walk a mile in y shoes, walk a mile in my shoes Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes Well, your whole world around you is just a reflection And the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow [spoken:] Yes, you will So unless you've lived a life of total perfection Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of evey stone that you should throw [spoken] Yeah, yeah Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another 'Cause I don't think or wear my hair the 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 [spoken] Lord, have mercy 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 There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I [spoken] Yeah, yeah If I only had the wings of little angels don'tcha you know I'd fly To the top of the mountain andthen I'd cry? [spoken] Yeah Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes Oh, before you abuse, crticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes [spoken] Yeah 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.
