[Verse 1]
DadEdy had a hound dog we used to call him bE7lue (yeah that was his name)
He used to folAlow me around, and sA7tick to me like gElue (sho’ nuff)
And his fB7avorite thing to play with Aused to be my good old sEhoe (yeah thaAt'B7s what it was)
I wiEsh I had a woman hAalf as good and tErueE7  
To Akeep out of trouble the wA7ay he used to Edo (that’E7s right)
SomeB7one I can depend on, Ajust like that good old sEhoeB7  
[Chorus]
EGood old shoe, good old shoe
Whatever road you're walking it will E7get you through
AGood old shoe, gA7ood old shoe
EStand up straight and proud like he taught you to
And you might B7even get to heaven with a sAole like that good old sEhoeB7  
[Verse 2]
Well daEddy always told me, hang on with what you got
Just smE7ile and be thankful even if it’s not a lot
The grEass is always greener on the other side of the fence
So, loE7ok before you leap, boy, just uEse your common sense
You might get kAicked around and stepped on but tA7hat ain’t nothin’ EnewE7  
and if you gB7ot a leg to stand on don't gAive up on that good old sEhoe
[Chorus]
GoEod old shoe, good old shoe

EStand up straight and proud like he taught you to
And you might B7even get to heaven with a sAole like that good old sEhoeB7
