Walked in them shoes
Sometimes it's gold and so we're told
Sometimes it's not worthwhile
To get an Inman steel guitar
And a California smile
Stuck in a Detroit diesel
Pretty sure it's a Silver Eagle
The heat's been out for about a hundred miles
Well, I haven't been hanging around
With the best of company
Been falling down drunk and scraping up my knees
I stick on track, stay a little longer
Don't look back, feeling gets stronger
Lord, you know, we can make it through
Gotta carry the load over the bad times
You gotta look up, pull up that slack line
Get yourself out of the dirt and into the blue
I walked in them shoes, mm
All them midnight jailors, rodeo tailors
Lord, You know, that we paid our dues
Buying by the lights got brighter
Pete made the show get tired
But just might make midnight for you
Well, I've come from faith healers, tramps and bootleggers
It's a long road, but I'm not afraid to die
I said I was wet behind the ears
I had wings to fly, all right
Well, sometimes it's gold or so we're told
But we go the extra mile
With an Inman steel guitar
And a California smile
Stuck in a Detroit diesel
40 feet of Silver Eagle
The heat's been out for about a hundred miles
Well, I stick on track, stay a little longer
Don't look back, the feeling gets stronger
Lord, You know we can make it through
Gotta carry the load over the bad times
You gotta look up, pull at that slack line
Get yourself out of the dirt and into the blue
I walked in them shoes
