Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes Lyrics - Cold Hard Truth/live With The Possum - George Jones

Written by T. Seals and M.D. Barnes 

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 heros 

Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse'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 Darling 

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 

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 old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years 

Photos 

You know the heart of country music 

Still beats in Luke the Drifter 

You can tell when hew sings 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: 

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 

Yes I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes?.
