George Jones — Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes

(Troy Seals and Max D. Barnes) [Verse 1] You know this old world is full of singers But just a few are chosen To tear your heart out when they sing Imagine life without them All your radio heroes Like the outlaw that walks through Jessi's dream No, there will never be another Red Headed Stranger A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues The Okie from Muskogee Or Hello Darlin' Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes? [Chorus] Who's gonna fill their shoes Who's gonna stand that tall Who's gonna play the Opry And the Wabash Cannonball Who's gonna give their heart and soul To get to me and you Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes? [Verse 2] God bless the boys from Memphis Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis Much too soon he left this world in tears They tore up the Fifties 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 [Chorus]
