this old world is full of singers but just a few were chosen to tear your heart out when they sing
imagine life without them those legendary ladies
ladies who weren't afraid to chase the down-home dreams
no there'll never be another
coal miner's daughter or mother maybe i'll sing in with her family
the honky-tonk angel
her courage
is
what made her lord i wonder who's gonna fill their heels
who's gonna fill their heels who's gonna be that strong
who's gonna be the hero for the ladies yet to come
who's gonna stand behind the ones
that paved the way for me lord i wonder who's gonna fill their heels
god bless you sweet virginia the world knows you as patsy
and much too soon she told this world goodbye
the rhinestones lace and denim the mandrel goods and dolly and i'll always love you it still makes me cry
you know the heart of country music still lives on in you my sweet mama
in the ache inside your voice as you sang standby
i can feel them right here with me on the stage where i sing out for them tonight
on the stage where i sing out for them tonight

who's gonna fill their heels who's gonna be that strong
who's gonna be the hero for the ladies yet to come

yet to come? Who's gonna stand behind the ones that paved the way for me? Lord, I wonder
who's gonna fill their heels? Lord, I wonder who's gonna fill their heels?
Lord, I wonder who's gonna fill their heels?
