Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes Lyrics

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 heroes
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 Darling
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 Wabash 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 too soon he left this world in tears
They tore up the Fifties
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie
And old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years

You know the heart of country music
Still beats in Luke the Drifter
You can tell when hew 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 Wabash 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 their shoes?

“I Told You So”- A Carrie Underwood Fantastic Version of Randy Travis’ Song LIVE at Grand Ole Opry

By

On August 8, 2024

In Carrie Underwood, Country Music

This probably one the best songs that Country Music superstar Carrie Underwood has ever performed. She sang “I Told You So” in front of huge live audience at Grand Ole Opry. “I Told You So” is a number 1 hit song written and recorded by Randy Travis from his 1987 album, Always & Forever. Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis recorded a duet and it peaked at number two on the U.S. country charts in 2009.

About Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.. She is an American country music performer who rose to stardom when she won the American Idol in 2005. She received the top prize of a recording contract with 19 Recordings/Arista Records, and the resulting album, Some Hearts (2005), was a massive commercial hit, eventually selling more than seven million copies and cementing Underwood’s status as one of American Idol’s most successful alumni. In 2007 she won Grammy Awards for best new artist and best female country vocal performance. Carrie returned to American Idol in 2007, performing a cover of the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand by You.” Made available as a single on Apple’s iTunes service, the song was downloaded more than 300,000 times and became the first digital-only release to crack the top 10 of the Billboard singles chart. At the 2007 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, Underwood claimed single-of-the-year honours for the feisty revenge song “Before He Cheats.” Her second album, Carnival Ride (2007), sold more than half a million copies in its first week of release, and in early 2008 she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

I Told You So Lyrics

Carrie Underwood

Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I loved you
And suppose I said I wanna come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I’m tired of spending all my time alone

If I told you that I realize you’re all I ever wanted
And it’s killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say

I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you’d come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so
But you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began

Would you tell me that you missed me too
And that you’ve been so lonely
And you’ve waited for the day that I returned
And we would live and love forever
And that I’m your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turn

Would you say I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you’d come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so
But you had to go

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again
Now I found someone new and you will never break my heart in two again

Waylon Jennings

Well, I woke up this mornin’ it was drizzlin’ rain
Around the curve come a passanger train
Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Jimmy he’s dead, he’s been a long time gone
Been a long time gone, a long time gone

If you wanna get to heaven, gotta D-I-E
You gotta put on your coat and T-I-E
Wanna get the rabbit out of the L-O-G
You gotta make a cold motion like D-O-G

YeahWell, I got a good woman, what’s the matter with me?
What makes me wanna love every woman I see?
I was tri’fling when I met her now I’m tri’fling again
And every woman she sees looks like the place I came in

Branded Man Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I’d like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am,
But they won’t let my secret go untold.
I paid the debt I owed them, but they’re still not satisfied,
Now I’m a branded man out in the cold,

When they let me out of prison, I held my head up high,
Determined I would rise above the shame.
But no matter where I travel, the black mark follows me,
I’m branded with a number on my name.
If I live to be a hundred, guess I’ll never clear my name,
‘Cause everybody knows I’ve been in jail.

No matter where I’m living,
I’ve got to tell them where I’ve been,
Or they’ll send me back to prison if I fail.

Now I’m a branded man out in the cold.

Write This Down Lyrics

George Strait

I never saw the end in sight; fools are kind of blind.
Thought everything was going alright, but I was running out of time.
‘Cause you had one foot out the door, I swear I didn’t see
But if you’re really going away, here’s some final words from me.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read ’em every day, keep ’em close by, don’t you let ’em fade away,
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

I’ll sign it at the bottom of the page, I’ll swear under oath
‘Cause every single word is true, and I think you need to know,
So use it as a bookmark, stick it on your ‘frigerator door,
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel where you’ll see it for sure.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read ’em every day, keep ’em close by, don’t you let ’em fade away,
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

You can find a chisel, I can find a stone.
Folks will be reading these words, long after we’re gone.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read ’em every day, keep ’em close by, don’t you let ’em fade away,
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

Oh I love you and I don’t want you to go, baby write this down.

Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone

Charley Pride

Rain drippin’ off the brim of my hat
It sure is cold today
And here I am walkin’ down 66
Wish she hadn’t done me that way

Sleepin’ under a table in a roadside park
A man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did
Sleepin’ in our king sized bed

Is anybody goin’ to San Antone
Or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her

Wind whippin’ down the neck of my shirt
Like I ain’t got nothin’ on
But I’d rather fight, the wind and rain
Than what I’ve been fightin’ at home

Yonder comes a truck with the U.S. Mail
People writin’ letters back home
Tomorrow she’ll probably want me back
But I’ll still be just as gone

Is anybody goin’ to San Antone
Or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her

Blue Clear Sky Lyrics

George Strait

You swear you’ve had enough, you’re ready to give up
On that little lie they call love, then out of the blue clear sky
Fallin’ right into your hands, like rain on the desert sand
It’s the last thing you had planned out of the blue clear sky.

Here she comes a walkin’ talkin’ true love
Sayin’ I been lookin’ for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky.

Ain’t love a funny thing, one day you’re givin’ up the dream
And the next you’re pickin’ out a ring out of the blue clear sky.

Here she comes a walkin’ talkin’ true love
Sayin’ I been lookin’ for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky.

Under the Bridge Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I lost my job in Saginaw working on the railroad
After twenty years they just put me on the side
Now I’m hungry in the street with no place to hang my hat
And nothin’ but an empty dream to ride

But under the bridge, I can make believe I’m living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend that I’m a king and this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe

Hey, the doors are always open to any old weary traveler
And you’ll find some great grub feedin’ here below
Any old bridge can be a palace, call it what you want to
It’s a place to be when you got no place to go

Under the bridge, I can make believe I’m living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend I’m a king, this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe
Hey, under the bridge making believe

Don’t Worry About Me Lyrics

Marty Robbins

Don’t worry ’bout me, it’s all over now
Though I may be blue, I’ll manage somehow.
Love can’t be explained, can’t be controlled
One day it’s warm, next day it’s cold.

Don’t pity me, ’cause I’m feeling blue
Don’t be ashamed it might happen to you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, love, kiss me
One time then go love, I’ll understand
Don’t worry ’bout me.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, love will I want you to be
As happy as I when you love me
I’ll never forget you your sweet memory it’s all over now

Don’t worry bout me.

When one heart tells one heart, one heart goodbye
One heart is free, one heart will cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh sweet, sweet baby, sweet baby, sweet
It’s all right don’t worry ’bout me…

When Did You Stop Loving Me

George Strait

When did you stop loving me?
How long have I been a memory?
I’ve gotta know for my own sanity
Tell me when did you stop loving me?

Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn?
You know that night has haunted me for so long
Or was your love already cold?
Tell me please, I’ve gotta know
Darling, when did you stop loving me?

There was a time when you worshiped where I stood
Heaven knows I’d bring it back if I could
Now I can tell when we make love
It ain’t me you’re thinking of
Tell me when did you stop loving me?

Darling when did you stop loving me?
