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



So unless you've lived a life of total perfection

Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw



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,



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



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?



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



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,



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
