ST. LOUIS NAMED A SHOE AFTER ME
(Tom T. Hall)

Tom T. Hall - 1972


You know what I've been doin', honey, since you said goodbye
I've been gettin' close to walkin' my one millionth mile
I walked the floor so much just thinkin' where could you be
St. Louis named a shoe after me

St. Louis is famous for its shoes, don't you know
Loafers and sneakers and they're makin' 'em all with soul
Honey, I walked so doggone much since you set me free
St. Louis named a shoe after me

When I was walkin' all night long and steppin' on my tears
It never dawned on me that someone out there really cared
I walked the floor so well, I'm gonna do it on TV
St. Louis named a shoe after me

St. Louis is famous for its shoes, don't you know
Loafers and sneakers and they're makin' 'em all with soul
Honey, I walked so doggone much since you set me free
St. Louis named a shoe after me

(Instrumental Break)

Well don't think that I'm braggin', I don't care about that shoe
Come on home before they name a river for me too
They're just feelin' sorry for me, that's plain to see
St. Louis named a shoe after me

St. Louis, it's famous for its shoes, don't you know
Loafers and sneakers and they're makin' 'em all with soul
Honey, I walked so doggone much since you set me free
St. Louis named a shoe after me
St. Louis named a shoe after me
Well you know they didn't name it after Jerry Lee
St. Louis named a shoe after me
