Capo 2

G
You know what I've been doin', honey, since you said goodbye
G
I've been gettin' close to walkin' my one millionth mile
  C                                      G               E7
I walked the floor so much just thinkin' where could you be
   A7            D          G
St Louis named a shoe after me   


Chorus:   
   C                       G
St Louis is famous for its shoes, don't you know
C                                A7                   D7
Loafers and sneakers and they're makin' them all with soul
C                               G                E7
Honey, I walked so doggone much since you set me free
   A7            D          G
St Louis named a shoe after me


When I was walkin' all night long and steppin' on my tears
It never dawned on me that someone out there really cared
I walked the floor so well I'm gonna do it on TV
St Louis named a shoe after me

Chorus
                
Well don't think that I'm braggin' I don't care about that shoe
Come on home before they name a river for me too
They're just feelin' sorry for me that's plain to see
St Louis named a shoe after me

Chorus
