lyrics

Big Shoes
Dave Gunning / Jamie Robinson – SOCAN

I watched him take the stage
Like a giant there before me
A poet of the people standing tall
Flood lights beaming red
On steel strings and sweat
The finest tunes that ever echoed off those walls
And the power of his voice
All rage fire and thunder
I knew that I had changed and I’d never be the same
Now every time since then
When I hear his voice again
I get carried back to that day
‘cause it was rock ‘n roll to me
He might as well have been the King
Now I could walk a thousand miles
And it would be like I stood still
Spend my whole life trying
And I’d never fill
Those shoes
I got my first guitar
When I was twelve years old
It was a fifteen dollar flea market prize
Something in me burned
From my fingers through my veins
And the fullest moon lit the darkest skies
Now I’m just one of many
Setting out along this path
Over dirt roads that he paved
And new roads that he made
Searching for a song
With his legend shining on
Like the Queensport Light glowing in the bay
