There they go and there's a look of satisfaction on his face
He's got her now and he's so proud he's walkin' in my place
But I was first to quench the thirst, a thirst she now can't lose
He's walkin' in my tracks, but he can't fill my shoes

Everywhere he's goin', I've already been
I made the path that led the way for all those other men
And no man I know could ever go through the hell she's put me through
He's walkin' in my tracks, but he can't fill my shoes

Everywhere he's goin', I've already been
I made the path that led the way for all those other men
And no man I know could ever go through the hell she's put me through
He's walkin' in my tracks, but he can't fill my shoes
He's walkin' in my tracks, but he just can't fill my shoes
