In My Shoes

I’ve walked and I’ve run I’ve crawled on my hands and knees
I’ve made a well-worn path and I’ve still got these shoes on my feet
They’re sandstone brown the soles are worn down and I’m saving them for you
When you’re ready to walk in my shoes

I’ve been reckless, I’ve sinned but I’ve played by most all the rules
I’ve sacrificed, made mistakes but I’m still filling my crown with jewels
They’re brilliant they’re rare the hypnotic glare will shine a light on you
When you’re ready to walk in my shoes

Then you’ll know what I feel see what I’ve seen hold everything that’s been dear to me
You’ll know the burdens I’ve borne every secret I’ve kept the good deeds I’ve done
Every tear that I’ve wept
When you walk in my shoes

There’s still a glow to my face my hair is now mixed with gray
I have no regrets I feel good at the end of the day
I’ve given my best so don’t criticize until you’ve walk in my shoes
That I’m saving for you

Then you’ll know what I feel see what I’ve seen hold everything that’s been dear to me
You’ll know the burdens I’ve borne every secret I’ve kept the good deeds I’ve done
Every tear that I’ve wept
You’ll know what I feel see what I’ve seen hold everything that’s been dear to me
You’ll know the burdens I’ve borne every secret I’ve kept the good deeds I’ve done
Every tear that I’ve wept
When you walk in my shoes
When you walk in my shoes
