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
