Don't It Make You Want to Go Home?
Capitol, 1969
If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Well, your whole world you see around
You is just a reflection
And the law of common says
You're gonna reap just what you sow
So unless you've lived a life
Of total perfection
Mmm, you'd better be careful of every stone
That you should throw
Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another
'Cause I don't think or wear my hair same way you do
Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a hurtin' you
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
There are people on reservations
And out in the ghettos
And brother, there, but for the grace of God
Go you and I
If I only had the wings of little angels
Don'tcha you know I'd fly
To the top of the mountain
And then I'd cry?
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
