lyrics

Well I woke up this morning from the beauty sleep I needed on the wrong side of the bed and in your boots
And I knew it was no good that I’d be into for the day, but I just thought if I was you I couldn’t lose
I pulled myself up by your straps I let myself out through the back I stopped and gave the day your critical review
And I made caterpillar tracks down to the pass to get the facts about the low down way you do the things you do
Walked a mile
In your shoes
Walked myself right out of love with you

I made a point to fail to do the things I knew I needed to like make it right, or make the time or make the call
I climbed the fence and I just sat there thought of neither this nor that there I just sat and watched it make into a wall
I made a mess I made a racket made believe and made to back it I made bricks without the straw or wherewithal
And I made light of making black out of the fire I might have if I’d just light one on my ass and risk the fall
Walked a mile
In your shoes
Walked myself right out of love with you

You’re callin baby come on back sit down let’s take time for a chat let’s talk
Let’s make a plan for that let’s think this through
Yeah you want your old girl back, begging to break the looking-glass
You’re cryin what got into me well babe it’s you

I made molehills out of mountains threw my dollar bills in wishing fountains kept the pennies for me to stack myself up to
I counted sheep to keep awake so I could sleep right through my better days no dreaming only yarns to watch undo
I was you behind your back I did the things that make me mad now I believe I understand the things you do
Yeah I boned up on my bad boy and now you want your old girl back I’ve blown the whistle on your ways and I approve
Walked a mile
In your shoes
Walked myself right out of love with you

I did my best to drop the bar lower my sights and never go too far did things I knew I’d never face up to
And I saw heaven in a hell I thought I knew you knew so well damn that I never thought to jump the fire with you
I was you behind your back I did the things that make me mad now I believe I understand the things you do
Yeah I boned up on my bad and now you want your old girl back you’ve blown the whistle and I’m walkin out on you
Walked a mile
In your shoes
Walked myself right out of love with you

about

Coralee image

Coralee Nashville, Tennessee

"Coralee and the Townies are a Lexington, Kentucky based band of a genre they’ve self-defined as Honky Tonk Soul, and it’s a fitting description, as the sextet whoops and weeps with traditional authenticity and contemporary energy, with Coralee’s husky vocals front and center and the Townies providing a righteous, raucous rootenanny soundtrack around her." ~Brian Baker (CityBeat) ... more
