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 heros,
Like the outlaw that walks through Jessie's dream.

No there'll never be another red headed stranger,
A man in black and Folsom Prison Blues,
The Okie from Muscogee or Hello Darlin'.
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 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 'em 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?
