Elton John - Into the Old Man's Shoes lyrics

I'm moving out of Tombstone, yeah
With the sun behind my back
I'm tired of people talking of
Things that I lack
Ever since a week ago, the day he passed away
I've been taking too much notice of
The things they've had to say
And all they say is
"You ain't half the man he used to be
He had strength and he worked his
Life to feed his family"
So if that's the way it has to be
I'll say goodbye to you
For I'm not that guy, or so it seems
To fill my old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life
The kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail
And tied up in their chains
Oh, it's hard and I can't see what
They want me to do, Lord, lord
They seem to think I should step
Into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life
The kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail
And tied up in their chains
Oh, it's hard and I can't see what
They want me to do, Lord, lord
They seem to think I should step
Into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life
The kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail
And tied up in their chains
Oh, it's hard and I cannot see what
They want me to do, Lord, lord
They seem to think I should step
Into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life
The kind that should be tamed
Oh, they'd like to see me locked in
Jail and tied up in their chains
Oh, it's hard and I cannot see what
They want me to do, Lord, lord
They seem to think I should step
Into the old man's shoes

Lord, I said like I'm a wicked way of life
The kind that should be tamed
