The train came behind him like a shot from a gun in yer sleep
And just for a second he forgot what to do with his feet
The photo creases dug in to his chest 'til they cut

And sweet Lily Langtry whispered his name through the dust

So it's out with the older one and in with the new

Here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes
Ah here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes


Champagne heels are gonna dig a golden hole in the dirt
So keep your guns in your jackets I'm sending you out with a curse
Keeping the law from the Pecos to the Rio Grande

And sweet Lily Langtry whispered his name through the sand

So it's out with the older one and in with the new

Here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes
Ah here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes


He heard her name call
As the Texas wind blows
From ten thousand miles away

To the cactus that frames her face

So it's out with the older one and in with the new

Here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes
Ah here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes
