Memories of childhood...

You know this old world is full of singers,
But just a few are chosen.
To tear your heart out when they sing.
Imagine life without them,
All your, radio heros,
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream.
No, There will never be another.
Red-headed stranger,
A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues.
The Okie from Muskogee,
Or Hello Darlin'.
Lord I wonder, Who's gonna fill their shoes?

Who's gonna fill their shoes?
Who's gonna stand that tall?
Who's gonna play the Opry?
And the Wallbash Cannonball?
Who's gonna give their heart and soul,
To get to me and you?
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes?

God bless the boys from Memphis,
Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis
Much to soon he left this world in tears.
They tore up the 50s.
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie,
And old Gold Cat Gole still echoes through the years.

You know the heart of country music,
Still beats to Luke the Drifer.
You can tell when he sings "I Saw the Light."
Old Marty, Hank and Lefty,
Why I can feel them right here with me,
On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night.

Who's gonna fill their shoes?
Who's gonna stand that tall?
Who's gonna play the Opry?
And the Wallbash Cannonball?
Who's gonna give their heart and soul,
To get to me and you?
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes?
Yes I wonder, who's gonna fill there shoes?
