This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the prompt of Socks, Shoes, Boots, Feet.

The goal is to take the prompt and profile a song that has it part of its lyrics or title.

Please consider carving out time to read the posts of other bloggers who responded to the Song Lyric Sunday challenge.

Rules for Song Lyric Sunday

Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it contains the prompt words or not.  If it does not meet the criteria, then please explain why you chose this song.

Walk a Mile in My Shoes

In 1970 Joe South wrote and recorded the song “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” for Capitol Records. South real name was Joe Souther. He has success writing songs for others including “Hush” for Deep Purple and Lynn Anderson “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden“

Elvis Pressley turned Joe South song into a hit for himself and included it on his 1970 live album “On Stage“.

Despite being a song that is fifty years old it has a great message for our divisive world. Might be prudent for all of us before we abuse, criticize, and accuse to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.
