George Jones – Whos Gonna Fill Their Shoes Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 13 Second

You know this old world is full of singers
But just a few are chosen
They tear your heart out when they sing
Imagine life without them
All your radio heroes
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesses dreams

No, there will never be another
Red-headed stranger
A man in black and Folsom prison blues
The Okie from Muskogee
Or hello darling
Lord, I wonder whos gonna fill their shoes

Whos gonna fill their shoes?
Whos gonna stand that tall?
Whos gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash cannonball?
Whos gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you?
Lord, I wonder whos gonna fill their shoes

God bless the boys from Memphis
Blue Suede shoes and Elvis
Much too soon, he left this world in tears
They tore up the 50s
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie
And go cat go still echoes through the years

You know the heart of country music
Still beats in Luke The Drifter
You can tell it when he sang, I Saw The Light

Old Marty, Hank, and Lefty
Why I can feel them right here with me
On this silver Eagle rolling through the night

Whos gonna fill their shoes?
Whos gonna stand that tall?
Whos gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash cannonball?
Whos gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you?
Lord, I wonder whos gonna fill their shoes
Yes, I wonder whos gonna fill their shoes
