(Mike Geiger/Woody Mullis/Bobby Taylor)



I was there when the men came, and told us all the news

Father forgive them for they know not what they do

Till they walk a while, a country mile

In my hillbilly shoes



You want to judge me by the whiskey on my breath

You think you know me but you ain't seen nothing yet

Till you walk a while, a country mile

In my hillbilly shoes

In my hillbilly shoes



You work all day in the muck and the mire

Dance a little jig and a stomp by the fire

Ain't too much these boots cant do

Might even kick a little sense into you



Well I'm going up cripple creek going in a run

Going up cripple creek to have a little fun

Law man said they found some tracks

People saw them leavin but they never come back



Oh, you don't know me, you don't know, you don't know you don't know

Till you walk a while, a country mile

In my hillbilly shoes

In my hillbilly shoes
