Into The Old Mans Shoes — текст песни (Elton John)

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Released as a uk b-side in january, 1971



Im moving out of tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my back

Im tired of people talking of things that I lack

Ever since a week ago, the day he passed away

Ive been taking too much notice of the things theyve had to say



And all they say is you aint half the man he used to be

He had strength and he worked his life to feed his family

So if thats the way it has to be, Ill say goodbye to you

Im not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old mans shoes





Like Im a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed

Theyd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains

Oh its hard and I cant see what they want me to do lord, lord

They seem to think I should step into the old mans shoes
