Lyrics

I remember as a child

I was absolutely wild

'Bout some red shoes

That my aunt Lucy wore

She would let me stomp around

In those high heels, up and down

'Round the house

And 'round the wrap-around porch

And from that moment on

I've had a pair of my own

They make me feel at home

And brand new

They build my confidence

As if they'd been Heaven sent

I feel alone

I'm puttin' on my red shoes

I begged mama, "Pretty please"

From the wishful coterie

A pair of red shoes for my feet

So, mama did

Through the years I've thought about

Aunt Lucy's love and think of how

Such little things in life

Can make or break a kid

I believe that every child

Needs to feel a sense of pride

And someone to love and guide

And see them through

So many miles I've travelled

Many times they've come unravelled

On the road both through the gravel

But I made it through

Hell and half of Georgia

A-walkin' through New Orleans

Walk the streets of Memphis bowling

Stroll 'round a block or two

And if God sees fit to own me

Anyone that's ever known me

Know I'd walked the gold streets only

In a pair of red shoes

And if I ever get to Heaven

If I ever get to Heaven

If I ever get to Heaven

And Lord, I hope I do

I will walk the streets of glory

I will walk the streets of glory

I will tell my Lucy story

And walk with her in red shoes
