Lyrics
THESE ARE MY SHOES
Please don't judge the man I am
When you pass by in your car
'Cause you don't know the price I've paid
Just to get this far
My sidewalk isn't paved with gold
It just leads me to another bar
I may not be the man I was
But I'm still prayin on that star
CHORUS
These are my shoes
But I can't change
The path they're leading me
Every crossroad brings me back
To where I don't wanna be
Seems that last one for the road
Ends up were it did before
To this thirsty dead end street
Craving just one more
Now when I walk into that room
Empty smiles... and cold embraces
Just shadows of the friends I failed
The broken hearts... forgotten faces
It's hell knowing I'm to blame
For all the lines I crossed
You tried to help me find my way
Losing you is my final cost
CHORUS
These are my shoes
But I can't change
The path they're leading me
Every crossroad brings me back
To where I don't wanna be
Seems that last one for the road
Ends up were it did before
To this thirsty dead end street
Craving just one more
These are my shoes
But I can't change
The path they're leading me
