Walk In My Shoes
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics

Lost my wife, my cars, my home
I almost lost my mind, yeah
Oh, Lord
My Will was hecked, got arrested
Was hard to keep me from crying
Oh, yeah

If you ever walked a mile in my shoes
(Ever walked a mile in my shoes)
You would see what I've been going through

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I never really meant to hurt you
I never meant to hurt you, oh no!
Just the things that I been going thru
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lost friends, lost time, lost money, (oh, I lost it all)
Yeah, I almost lost my way, yeah! Oh Lord!
I hurt the very one that believed in me, oh Lord
I lost my whole damn family
And you don't know know what it feels like to walk in my shoes

If you ever walked a mile in my shoes (hey, hey aye)
You would see what I've been going through
You would see what I've been going through

(I never really meant to hurt you)
I said I never meant to hurt you, girl
Just the things that I've been going throgh (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I've been going through some things in my life, yeah
Try to walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, yeah, oh

(If you ever walked a mile in my shoes)
I never meant to hurt girl
Never meant to hurt you, no
I've been going through, some things, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
(Just some things I've been going through)

Some thangs I've been going through
I shouldn't be telling anyone about it, oh no
Oh, ah
Oh, oh
Yeah
