I know some folks out there work real hard, barely gettin' by
They sure know how to love and don't have time to ask the good Lord, "Why?"
They can't catch the upper hand, then they turn and look at me
Outside in, I bet your life sure is hard to be
I'm up to my neck in things that just don't matter
Spent the young days of my life tryna climb an endless ladder
Hard to think, a man like me, well, I ain't got too much to lose
But what I'd give for just one day if I could end up in your shoes
I'll have to admit, I don't have a problem payin' bills
But I don't ever make it back home to any of Mama's Sunday meals
And I had a friend, the last time we talked, we didn't see eye-to-eye
And I was off, way out west when they said he died
I'm up to my neck in things that just don't matter
Spent the young days of my life tryna climb an endless ladder
Hard to think, a man like me, well, I ain't got too much to lose
But what I'd give for just one day if I could end up in your shoes
If I could end up in your shoes
I'd kick off these size 10s
Grab the laces, jump on in
I'll be you, and you'll be me
And we'll find where we're meant to be
I'm up to my neck in things that just don't matter
Spent the young days of my life tryna climb an endless ladder
Hard to think, a man like me, well, I ain't got too much to lose
But what I'd give for just one day if I could end up in your shoes
If I could end up in your shoes
