**Team 2:**

\*Put yourself in my **shoes**  
Walk a mile for me  
I’ll put myself in your **shoes**  
Maybe then we’d see  
That if you’d put yourself in my **shoes**  
You’d have some sympathy  
And if I could only put myself in your **shoes**  
I would walk right back to me

Put Yourself in My **Shoes** \* - Clint Black

And you think you’re cursed  
(And you’ve got it sad)
