George Jones - Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?

There's just something about this video that almost makes me want to cry every time I watch it. So many of the country greats are gone and, like George, I wonder, "Who's gonna fill their shoes?" Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes? Written by: Max D. Barnes; Troy Harold Seals 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 Jessi'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 left this world in tears They tore up the Fifties Old Jerry Lee and Charlie And "Go, Cat, Go!" still echoes through the years. You know the heart of country music Still beats in Luke the Drifter You can tell it when he sang 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 Cannonbal?l 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?...
