Walk A Mile In My Shoes Lyrics - Classic Masters - Joe South

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, mmm 

If you could see you 

Through your eyes 

Instead of your ego 

I believe you'd be 

Surprised to see 

That you'd been blind, mmm 

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, yes you will 

So unless 

You've lived a life of 

Total perfection 

You'd better be careful 

Of every stone 

That you should throw, yeah 

And yet we spend the day 

Throwing stones 

At one another 

'Cause I don't think 

Or wear my hair 

The same way you do, mmm 

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, lord have mercy 

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 

There are people 

On reservations 

And out in the ghettos 

And brother there 

But for the grace of God 

Go you and I, yeah, yeah 

If I only 

Had the wings 

Of a little angel 

Don't 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 

Uh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse 

Walk a mile in my shoes, yeah 

Walk a mile in my shoes
