[Verse 1: Eddie Montgomery, Granger Smith, & Both]
I was there when the men came, and told us all the news
Father forgive them for they know not what they do
'Til they walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes

[Verse 2: Eddie Montgomery, Both, & Granger Smtih]
You want to judge me by the whiskey on my breath
You think you know me but you ain't seen nothing yet
'Til you walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes
In my hillbilly shoes

[Verse 3: Eddie Montgomery & Granger Smith]
You work all day in the muck and the mire
Dance a little jig and a stomp by the fire
Ain't too much these boots can't do
Might even kick a little sense into you

[Verse 4:Eddie Montgomery & Granger Smith]
Well I'm going up cripple creek going in a run
Going up cripple creek to have a little fun
The law man said they found some tracks
People saw them leavin but they never come back

[Refrain]
Oh, you don't know me, you don't know, you don't know you don't know
'Til you walk a while, a country mile
In my hillbilly shoes
In my hillbilly shoes
In my hillbilly shoes
