This song came to me from Tommy Johnson (1896 - 1956) via Canned Heat. I pulled it about a bit, singing it in British clubs and bars for a couple of decades.

Big Road Blues

WALK DON’T RUN (DANCE IN RICH MAN’S SHOES)
Words and Music Stephen Randall 

Give yourself a medal
Chainsaw thief
Stick it to the man
Take it to the chief
Look at you 
Coo ca choo
You got better things to do
Rake it in
Don’t play dumb with me

Take me to your leader
Take me to your grief
Burn down the mission
Sell them your belief
Flashback
Brain hack
Backtrack
Heart attack
Zip it up
Keep me numb and free

CHORUS
Walk - woo - don’t run
Dance in rich man’s shoes
Walk - woo - don’t run
Dance in rich man’s shoes

Hold on to your horses
Dress for the show
We got somewhere
We need to go
Take out
Self doubt
Drown out
Pay out
Shake it up
I got moves for you

CHORUS

OUTRO
Walk
Woo
Don’t run
Walk
Woo
Don’t run
Dance in rich man’s shoes
