New Shoes

Woke up cold one Tuesday

I'm lookin' tired and feelin' quite sick

I felt like there was somethin' missin'

In my day to day life

So, I quickly opened the wardrobe

Pulled out some jeans and a T-shirt that seemed clean

Topped it off with a pair of old shoes

That were ripped around the seams

And I thought these shoes just don't suit me

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smilin', it's so invitin'

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strollin' in the sweet sunshine

And I'm runnin' late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearin' my brand new shoes

Woke up late one Thursday

And I'm seein' stars as I'm rubbin' my eyes

And I felt like there were two days missin'

As I focused on the time

And I made my way to the kitchen

But had to stop from the shock of what I found

The room full of all of our friends

All dancin' 'round and 'round

And I thought, hello, new shoes

Bye, bye blues

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smilin', it's so invitin'

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strollin' in the sweet sunshine

And I'm runnin' late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearin' my brand new shoes

Take me wanderin' through these streets

Where bright lights and angels meet

Stone to stone, they take me on

I walk until the break of dawn

Take me wanderin' through these streets

Where bright lights and angels meet

Stone to stone, they take me on

I walk until the break of dawn

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smilin', it's so invitin'

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strollin' in the sweet sunshine

And I'm runnin' late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearin' my brand new shoes

Oh, hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smilin', it's so invitin'

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strollin' in the sweet sunshine

And I'm runnin' late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearin' my brand new shoes
