Shoes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There can be but better ways from yesterdays to me
Somewhere there are better days for better ways to be
Sunny days have funny ways of quieting the roar
Is it still a blessed thing to live and live some more
And I'm left with the truth and I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time maybe never
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I woke up early one morning
Like I'd been under a spell
Gazed into the mirrored reflection
Said I had to do it or else
And I'm left with the truth and I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time maybe never
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Things are through
There can be but better ways from yesterdays to me
Somewhere there are better days for better ways to be
Sunny days have funny ways of quieting the roar
Is it still a blessed thing to live and live some more
And I'm left with the truth and I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time maybe never
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I'll walk these shoes
Yeah! Yeah!
