Shoes Don'T Fit

Been through the rocks and bottoms AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Climbing Mount Nebo, marched in Medigeo AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Tried to follow you Lord, but it's too hard CAUSE MY SHOES DON'T FIT When I was seven my mother took me to the shoe store My feet where extra wide, this I tried to hide All I needed was more cowhide Extra width, shoes so tight that they just didn't, didn't fit Hurts SO BAD HELP ME LORD!! Been through the rocks and bottoms AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Climbing Mount Nebo, marched in Medigeo AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Been through the valleys and they're low and my shoes don't fit Walk through the muddy waters and the cold fridged snows AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT What must I do to behave That I may be saved Does it matter t hat my shoes don't fit Yes they don't fit yes they won't fit How can I walk on in heaven on those streets of gold With hurting toes. . . Been through the rocks and bottoms AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Climbing Mount Nebo, marched in Medigeo AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Tried to follow you Lord, but it's too hard CAUSE MY SHOES DON'T FIT This is making me sick I can hardly walk hardly talk cause my shoes don't fit The devil all around me but I can barely believe he's walkin over me I'm gonna stomp on him, I'm gonna march on him gonna tromp on him Even tho my shoes don't fit walk on, walk on, march on and on and on walk on With hurting toes. . . Been through the rocks and bottoms AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Climbing Mount Nebo, marched in Medigeo AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Making me sick I can't walk hardly talk cause my shoes don't fit Devil still around can't believe he's walkin over me Gonna stomp him, I'm gonna march on him gonna tromp on him Even tho my shoes don't fit walk on, walk on, march on and on and on walk on With hurting toes. . . Been through the rocks and bottoms AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT Climbing Mount Nebo, marched in Medigeo AND MY SHOES DON'T FIT written by James Edward Lee Sr. June 14 2011 from Anthology " Revelations"
