LITTLE FEET IN A BIG SHOE

(Words & Music by Tackett/Wallin)

Just four years born in this world
Mama's high heeled shoes and big blue eyes and curls
Walkin' across the hardwood floor
It won't be long 'til they're not too big anymore

Little feet in a big shoe
Gotta whole lot of walkin' to do just to fill 'em up
Big world and a short life
Takin' steps for the first time and it's a little tough
You never know what path to take
There's some dirt roads and some highways
The direction's up to you
Little feet in a big shoe

He's a young man leavin' home
His daddy says son there's just so much you don't know
I've been right there where you stand and
It takes more than eighteen years to be a man

Little feet in a big shoe
Gotta whole lot of walkin' to do just to fill 'em up
Big world and a short life
Takin' steps for the first time and it's a little tough
You never know what path to take
There's some dirt roads and some highways
The direction's up to you
Little feet in a big shoe

She wore her mama's high heeled shoes on her wedding day
And as he slipped the ring on her hand he could hear his daddy say

Little feet in a big shoe
Gotta whole lot of walkin' to do just to fill 'em up
Big world and a short life
Takin' steps for the first time and it's a little tough
You never know what path to take
There's some dirt roads and some highways
The direction's up to you
Little feet in a big shoe
