Mud on My Shoes by Country Songwriter

The only sad song I've written, so far. Lyrics and Chords below:

MUD ON MY SHOES

C D- F
I've got mud on my shoes and a pain in my back,
G C
Sore feet and a heartache that won't quit.
C D- F
I've got holes in my shirt, and socks that don't match.
G C
I feel heavy and tired and worn.

C D- F
I used to be happy, with the life that I had,
G C
Everything's gone since you've gone.
C D- F
A country boy’s life, without his dear wife,
G C
Is like a drought without any rain.

BREAK
C D- F
Your friends, they all miss you and the children do too,
G C
Missing is all that I do.
C D- F
At your graveside we pray, in the sun and the rain,
G C
Going home with mud on our shoes.

C D- F
With an ache in our hearts, and mem'ries of you,
G C
I fear we are falling apart.
C D- F
‘Cause a farm family's life, with no mother or wife,
G C
Is like a drought without any rain.
