Walk a Mile in My Shoes Songtext
von Jimmy LaFave

If I could be you, if you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other′s mind, mmmm
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you′ve been blind, mmmm

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

Now your whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of Karma says you're gonna reap just what you sow
So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
You′d better be careful of every stone that you should throw - yeh-heh


And yet we spend the day throwin′ stones at one another
'Cause I don′t think or wear my hair the same way you do, mmmm
Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out you′re tryin' to hurt me it′s hurtin' you
Lord, have mercy

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Babe, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

And there are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I, yeh-heh
And if I only had wings of a little angel, well
Don't you know, I′d fly to the top of a mountain and then I′d cry

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Babe, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes
Try before what you're doing

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes...
