The Shoes You`re Wearing — текст песни (Clint Black)

We`ve all seen enough wrong and right
To know everything`s not black and white
There`s always something in between
No matter how long or well you live
You don`t get anything you don`t give
Still no slate is clean

For better or worse, anybody can
Take a look around and find a better man
Upright no matter how he`s faring
No matter what kind of shoes he`s wearing
The shoes he`s wearing
They don`t make the man

So many people out running around
Handicapped before they hit the ground
Thinking there`s nowhere to go
Shouldn`t we all be looking for ways
To keep on seeing our better days
We`re not chained to what we know

But if your eyes are open and your mind is free
There`s no tellin` what a man can be
Upright no matter how you`re faring
No matter what kind of shoes you`re wearing
The shoes you`re wearing
They don`t make the man

But if you can`t walk through the best of times and the worst of times
Find your feet still walking the line
You`ll never carry the load worth bearing
No matter what kind of shoes you`re wearing
The shoes you`re wearing
They won`t make the man
The shoes you`re wearing
They won`t make the man
