St. Louis Named a Shoe After Me

(Tom T. Hall)



You know what I've been doin' honey, since you said goodbye

I've been gettin' close to walkin' my one millionth miles

I walked the floor so much just thinkin' where could you be

St. Louis named a shoe after me.



St. Louis is famous for its shoes don't you know

Loafers and sneakers and they're makin' them all with soul

Honey, I walked so doggone much since you set me free

St. Louis named a shoe after me.



When I was walkin' all night long and steppin' on my tears

It never dawned on me that someone out there really cared

I walked the floor so well, I'm gonna do it on TV

St, Louis named a shoe after me.



St. Louis is famous for its shoes don't you know

Loafers and sneakers and they're makin' them all with soul

Honey, I walked so doggone much since you set me free

St. Louis named a shoe after me.

Well, don't think that I'm braggin' I don't care about that shoe

Come on home before they name a river for me too

They're just feeling sorry for me that's plain to see

St. Louis named a shoe after me.



St. Louis is famous for its shoes don't you know

Loafers and sneakers and they're makin' them all with soul

Honey, I walked so doggone much since you set me free

St. Louis named a shoe after me.



St. Louis named a shoe after me

Well, you know they didn't name it after Jerry Lee

St. Louis named a shoe after me...
