The Man in My Shoes Lyrics by StingRay

1979

[Verse 1]
I've been out on the road too long
Trying to keep it all together, but the feeling's gone
I've made my money, I've come so far
But I've reached the point where I don't wanna be a star

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone thinks it's easy
But I wouldn't want to be me
If I could start over again

[Chorus]
You want to be the man in my shoes?
Does nobody want to try?
You want to be the fool in my place?
Does anyone want to try?

[Post-Chorus]
Standing upon the stage
Hear the audience applaud as the music starts to fade

[Verse 2]
I've mixed some circles in Hollywood
Living fast, I lived high it never did no good
I'm slowing down just to find my feet
Cuz my mind's growing tired and my body's weak

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone thinks it's easy
But I wouldn't want to be me
If I could start over again

[Chorus]
You want to be the man in my shoes?
Does nobody want to try?
You want to be the fool in my place?
Does nobody want to try?

[Post-Chorus]
Standing upon the stage
Hear the audience applaud as the music starts to fade

[Chorus]
You want to be the man in my shoes?
Does nobody want to try?
You want to be the fool in my place?
Does anyone want to try?

[Chorus]
You want to be the man in my shoes?
Does nobody want to try?
You want to be the fool in my place?
Does anyone want to try?

[Chorus]
You want to be the man in my shoes?
Does nobody want to try?
