Shoes
by Judy Martin Hess

Album: Color Me

You can see 'em stumblin'
Down on Bourbon Street
Or walkin' down the aisle of a church
You can hear 'em breathin'
In the summer heat
Or chokin' on a pile of dirt
They go dancin', they work hard
They say a lot about who you are

Shoes can get you where you're goin'
Shoe can get you there and back
No matter where you're headed
They always end up where you're at
If I could walk a mile in your shoes
If you could walk a mile in mine
We could see the world
From a different point of view
We could learn a lot from shoes

You can see 'em buckled
To a diplomat
Or fallin' off the feet of the poor
Poundin' down the pavement
For the workin' class
Or carryin' the weight of the world
They got sweat, they got holes
They got purpose, baby, they got soul

Shoes can get you where you're goin'
Shoe can get you there and back
No matter where you're headed
They always end up where you're at
If I could walk a mile in your shoes
If you could walk a mile in mine
We could see the world
From a different point of view
We could learn a lot from shoes

Oh, shoes
Wingtips, Espadrilles
Cowboy Sneakers, Stiletto Heels

Shoes can get you where you're goin'
Shoe can get you there and back
No matter where you're headed
They always end up where you're at
If I could walk a mile in your shoes
If you could walk a mile in mine
We could see the world
From a different point of view
We could learn a lot from shoes, yeah

Why not?
We could learn a lot from shoes
