Into The Old Man`s Shoes — текст песни (Elton John)

I`m moving out of Tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my back
I`m tired of people talking of things that I lack
Ever since a week ago, the day he passed away
I`ve been taking too much notice of the things they`ve had to say

And all they say is you ain`t half the man he used to be
He had strength and he worked his life to feed his family
So if that`s the way it has to be, I`ll say goodbye to you
I`m not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old man`s shoes

Like I`m a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
They`d like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
Oh it`s hard and I can`t see what they want me to do Lord, Lord
They seem to think I should step into the old man`s shoes
