My Walkin' Shoes

(album: Will The Circle Be Unbroken - 1972)

Well, you can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em,
Yes, there's something mighty necessary 'bout 'em,
A woman will give you the blues, she'll have you pulling
Out your hair, and wearing out your walking shoes.

Well they just keep nagging, until your head is sagging,
There ain't a wink a-sleeping, when they start in weeping,
A woman will give you the blues, she'll have you biteing off
Your nails, and wearing out your walking shoes.

It's a losing gamble, when you start to ramble,
Oh lordy, how you miss 'em, and you long to kiss 'em,
'cause a woman will give you the blues, she'll have you
Tossing in your sleep, and wearing out your walking shoes.

Well you can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em,
It's better to talk with 'em, than to talk about 'em,
A woman will give you the blues, she'll have you talking to
Yourself, and wearing out your walking shoes.
