Lyrics:
We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
"Get a job you fu**in' slob," is all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
(Hook)
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "don't worry about a thing, baby doll I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
But three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "goddamn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door.
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
(Hook)
I've seen a rich man beg I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win and a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad and the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start
I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight and max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
You know it comes that way at least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

Too many emotions. This really hits home. I've had a tough life, not bragging. Not complaining but this song hits at home. I am somewhat of a successful man and I've rode these streets . It's been years ago but I know. Thank you for making such a beautiful song

I can still cry listening to this song. The struggle is real, and it makes me sad that some people have no empathy or respect for other based on preconceived notions. You never know what someone is going through, or what they've gone through in the past, so let's help one another. We all share this earth and are just trying to get through this thing called life.πβ€οΈ

This is real music. Real meaning. Real emotions. Good music doesn't die but doesn't get appreciated enough.

I was too young to appreciate this song...I feel it now.

I remember this song coming out back in the day. Even at my age, it made me cry. My mom cried every time it came on the radio, it was constantly on. I stumble back around to this song every few years, with so much more understanding of it. We got this everyone. We will make it through whatever is hurting us.

My dad had me listen to this at 10 years old. To teach me a lesson about not judging people. I love you dad

this song is timeless.... meaning runs deep...to bad everyone doesn't take a lesson from it. We could use more of this now.

This song has gotten me through some of the toughest times . I say when this song comes on randomly or pops up it's meant for me to know it's all gonna be ok

Do any of us know what its really like? What its really like to know your brothers burdens? I love this song so much, it humbles me to the floor everytime.

I believe the message of this music is: Never judge someone you don't know over something you didn't see with your own eyes. to have some compassion with other human beings. And that goes with my life philosophy - everybody fights for what they believe in. So How do you demonize a enemy who fights for whats right in his eyes? in the end we all want the greater good. So in the end, the fight becomes meaningless. A mere stone in our shoes that mankind needs to overcome. Very pretty song by the way.

This song is so true. We never know what people are going through in their lives. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE.

I'm Brazilian when I heard this song for the first time I loved the music, at that time I didn't speak English, Now I do understand English, that lyrics is one of the most profound and it touches hard in the heart and soul , beautiful song .

God forbid you might have to walk a mile in someone else's shoes, then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues.
Love God, love your neighbour. Always be kind, always be compassionate. Don't judge others. Peace.

Deep lyrics, hits home. Feels like I'm all alone in this dark circle we call earth.. Never take things for granted because you never know the situation you will get put into.

I was homeless, in and out of shelters, jails, rehabs, and relationships for decades. Thankfully, the years of addiction, running away and hiding are over. Thank you God for allowing me to live through multiple near death experiences I am Grateful to be in recovery again, 3 months behind- a lifetime to look forward to β€

This song has so much meaning. I never knew how hard life could really be until I became an addict. I didn't mean to, I was always afraid of drugs but a prescription from a dentist changed my life. I'm 16 months sober now but having to feel the desperation of needing something and having no way of getting it gave me so much more empathy than I had. I'm thankful for everyday and I try to help others as much as I can

I'm homeless right now I'm staying in a motel 6 surviving through this bad weather. I wish more people knew what it's like to walk in my shoes it ain't easy or fair or enjoyable. Being homeless is miserable but I know one day I'll make it out. Hopefully.
