walk a mile in my shoes - Song Lyrics

Walk A Mile In My Shoes
Joe South and The Believers
Written by Joe South

Peaked at # 12 in 1970
Re-make 4 months later by Willie Hightower managed only # 107

If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's 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 my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
	Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
	Walk a mile in my shoes

Well, your whole world you see 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 every 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 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 and then I'd cry? 
<SPOKEN "yeah">

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
	Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
	Better walk a mile in my shoes 
	<SPOKEN "try an' watch whatcha doin'">

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,
	<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

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:  rather ignominious ending-no two musicians seem to 
stop at the same time
