Sand in My Shoe

Jim Reeves · The Unreleased Hits of Jim Reeves [2000]

You ask me why I wander

Why I'm always on the roam

Let me tell you sweetheart

I've never had a home.



I've got sand, burnin' sand in my shoes.



I've had girls to call me sweetheart

But I always say goodbye

'Cause I only love three people

Me, myself and I.



I've go sand, burnin' sand in my shoes

I've go sand, burnin' sand in my shoes.



I keep moving just to dodge the blues

I'd love to stay awhile with you

Wearing my shores.



But I've go sand, burnin' sand in my shoes.



I met a girl the other night

Who pleased me to a tee

Till she puckered up

And slipped this note

Won't you please marry me?



Then I got sand, burnin' sand in my shoes

I've go sand, burnin' sand in my shoes.



I keep movin' just to dodge the blues

I'd love to stay awhile with you

A wearing my new shoes.



But I've go sand, burnin' sand in my shoes...
