If The Shoe Fits
Hank Williams Sr. · Other Songs - Hank Williams Sr.
Sittin up all night trying to have a good time singing
my songs and trying to get paid
Ive been roughed up beat up Ive been cut I got a tattoo at a tender age
Never could respect a sheriff trying to break my neck
with a few friends and a can of mace
Born on the south side with alot of rebel pride raised
alot of hell in my younger days
Hey I cant help what I say
I could be right I could be wrong
It just might hurt but it makes me strong
If the shoe fits wear it
If the truth hurts bear it
Well thats the kind of life Im living and I plan on living long
Its a hard road to choose
Being good and paying dues
But thats the kind of life Im living and I plan on living long
Running hard running free never gonna catch me driving
too fast on a black top road
Loaded up hammered back I'll smack you with my tire
jack you better walk away before I carry you home
Passing my pig sty sleeping where the dogs lie anywhere
I go is where I call my home
Been stoned been straight been to hell and heavens
gate I got thrown out when they said I didnt belong
Hey I just keep movin on
I could be right I could be wrong
It just might hurt but it makes me strong
If the shoe fits wear it
If the truth hurts bear it
Well thats the kind of life Im living and I plan on living long
Its a hard road to choose
Being good and paying dues
But thats the kind of life Im living and I plan on living long
my songs and trying to get paid
Ive been roughed up beat up Ive been cut I got a tattoo at a tender age
Never could respect a sheriff trying to break my neck
with a few friends and a can of mace
Born on the south side with alot of rebel pride raised
alot of hell in my younger days
Hey I cant help what I say
I could be right I could be wrong
It just might hurt but it makes me strong
If the shoe fits wear it
If the truth hurts bear it
Well thats the kind of life Im living and I plan on living long
Its a hard road to choose
Being good and paying dues
But thats the kind of life Im living and I plan on living long
Running hard running free never gonna catch me driving
too fast on a black top road
Loaded up hammered back I'll smack you with my tire
