These shoes

When you left me feeling helpless

You didn’t hear me cry

You crushed my pride completely

Didn’t even say goodbye

So I’ve been looking for you

I’ve nothing more to lose

You don’t know how many miles you put on these shoes

You were a two-timing no-good

You always made me sad

I tried to give you good loving

You went and turned it bad

I don’t know why I look for you

Except I paid my dues

You don’t know how many miles you put on these shoes

The heels are worn in places

The soles are nearly through

But I know I can count on them

More than I could you

I am my own worst enemy

I don’t know when to stop

I’ll keep on looking out for you babe

Until the day I drop

And if I ever find you

These are the words I’ll use

You don’t know how many miles you put on these shoes

Some information on this song

Tommy Harper from South Carolina  supplied the song's title for Paul Blackburn from the UK to work with and then Tommy wrote the music and produced the first cut. A friend of Tommy's called Glenn Crane, from Westminster, South Carolina, added the great Dobro guitar and then William from Soddy Daisy, Tennessee overdubbed the drum track.
