"Into The Old Man's Shoes" lyrics

"Into The Old Man's Shoes"

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
For I'm not that 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

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

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 cannot see what they want me to do, Lord, Lord
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
Oh, they'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
Oh, it's hard and I cannot see what they want me to do, Lord, Lord
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

Lord, I said
Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
