(Mike Geiger/Woody Mullis/Bobby Taylor)
I was there when the men came, and told us all the news
Father forgive them for they know not what they do
Till they walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes
You want to judge me by the whiskey on my breath
You think you know me but you ain`t seen nothing yet
Till you walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes
In my hillbilly shoes
You work all day in the muck and the mire
Dance a little jig and a stomp by the fire
Ain`t too much these boots cant do
Might even kick a little sense into you
Well I`m going up cripple creek going in a run
Going up cripple creek to have a little fun
Law man said they found some tracks
People saw them leavin but they never come back
Oh, you don`t know me, you don`t know, you don`t know you don`t know
Till you walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes
In my hillbilly shoes
