Elvis Presley - Walk A Mile In My Shoes lyrics

(words & music by joe south) If i could be you, if 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 your own ego i believe you'd be I believe you'd be surprised to see That you've been blind Walk a mile in my shoes Just walk a mile in my shoes Before you abuse, criticize and accuse Then walk a mile in my shoes Now if we spend the day Throwin' stones at one another 'cause i don't think, 'cause i don't think Or wear my hair the same way you do Well, i may be common people But i'm your brother And when you strike out You're tryin' to hurt me It's hurtin' you, lord how mercy Now there are people on reservations And out in the ghetto And brother there, but, for the grace of god Go you and i, If i only had wings of a little angel Don't you know, i'd fly To the top of a mountain And then i'd cry, cry, cry
