Joe South - Walk A Mile In My Shoes Lyrics
If I could be you, if you could be me for just one hourIf we could find a way to get inside each other's mind, mhIf you could see you through my eyes instead of your egoI believe you'd be surprised to see that you've been blind, mhWalk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoesHey, before you abuse, criticize and accuseWalk a mile in my shoesNow your whole world you see around you is just a reflectionAnd the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sowSo unless you've lived a life of total perfectionYou'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw - yeh-hehAnd yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another'Cause I don't think or wear my hair the same way you do, mhWell, I may be common people but I'm your brotherAnd when you strike out you're tryin' to hurt me it's hurtin' youLord, have mercyWalk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoesBabe, before you abuse, criticize and accuseWalk a mile in my shoesAnd there are people on reservations and out in the ghettosAnd brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I, yeh-hehAnd if I only had wings of a little angel, wellDon't you know, I'd fly to the top of a mountain and then I'd cryWalk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoesBabe, before you abuse, criticize and accuseBetter walk a mile in my shoesTry before what you're doingWalk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoesOh, before you abuse, criticize and accuseWalk a mile in my shoes...
