Another Man’s Shoes (Lyrics)

I recall one April day, way back in ’83
A certain conversation that my mother had with me
Said, “If you would be happy, Son, and chase away the blues
You really need to walk a mile in someone else shoes.”

So I headed to the thrift shop, just past the five and ten.
I bought some shoes, I put them on, and wandered home again.
They pinched my toes, they ached my soles, and blistered both my heels.
Now thanks to Mom I’m confident that I know just how it feels.

To walk in another man’s moccasins; to walk in another man’s shoes
Now I’ve got one more reason to go around singing the blues.
I’ve walked in another man’s moccasins; I’ve walked in another man's shoes
So take a tip from me, be careful just whose shoes you choose

Now Mom was very patient and she did the best she could
To see her pearls of wisdom were fully understood
But it seems that comprehension was not my strongest suit
And what she saw as simple – well, I didn’t quite compute

“Is it luck or fate?” I asked, “I need to know what’s true.”
“If you play your cards right, Son, good luck will follow you.”
So I played cards, I played roulette, I even rolled the dice
And if I’m broke today it’s ’cause I took my Mom’s advice

I’ve walked in another man’s moccasins; I’ve walked in another man's shoes
Whenever it was ‘aces high’ then all I had were 'twos'

I’ve walked in another man’s moccasins; I’ve walked in another man's shoes
So take a tip from me, be careful just whose shoes you choose
So take a tip from me, be careful just whose shoes you choose

My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile
