Into The Old Man's Shoes Lyrics - Elton John

I'm moving out of tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my back 

I'm tired of people talking of things that I lack 

Ever since a week ago the day he passed away 

I've been taking too much notice of the things they've had to say 

And all they say is you ain't half the man he used to be 

He had strength and he worked his life to feed his family 

So if that's the way it has to be, I'll say goodbye to you 

Oh I'm not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old man's shoes 

Like I'm a wicked way of life the kind that should be tamed 

They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains 

Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord 

They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life the kind that should be tamed 

They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains 

Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord 

They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes 

Like I'm a wicked way of life the kind that should be tamed 

They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains 

Oh it's hard and I cannot see what they want me to do Lord, Lord 

They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes 

Like I'm a wicked way of life the kind that should be tamed 

They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains 

Oh it's hard and I cannot see what they want me to do Lord, Lord 

They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes 

No I said like I'm a wicked way of life the kind that should be tamed 

They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
