You Can't Make A Heel Toe The Mark

Porter Wagoner · Green Green Grass of Home (RCA Camden) [1968]

(Ray Pennington - Don Reno)



You can't change the daylight to dark

And you can't make a heel toe the mark.



I warned you not to give your love to me

I knew that I would only break your heart

I'm the kind you just can't ever change

'Cause you can't make a heel toe the mark.



You can't stop time from rollin' on

You can't keep a man from goin' wrong

You can't change the daylight to dark

And you can't make a heel toe the mark.

A leopard can never change its spots

The big tiger would never change its stripes

A hound dog would never change its bark

And you can't make a heel toe the mark.



You can't stop time from rollin' on

You can't keep a man from goin' wrong

You can't change the daylight to dark

And you can't make a heel toe the mark.



No, you can't make a heel toe the mark...
