Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes

Lyrics

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 Jesse's 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 who's gonna fill their shoes
 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 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
 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
