New Shoes

Woke up cold one Tuesday

I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick

I felt like there was something missing 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 is right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling

It's so inviting, oh short on money

But long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late

And I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Woke up late one Thursday

And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes

And I felt like there were two days missing

As I focused on the time

And I made my way to the kitchen

But I had to stop from the shock of what I found

A room full of all my friends dancing round and round

And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye them blues

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything is right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling

It's so inviting, oh short on money

But long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late

And I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Take me wondering through these streets

Where bright lights and angels meet

Stone to stone they take me on

I'm walking to the break of dawn

I'm walking to the break of dawn

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything is right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling

It's so inviting, oh short on money

But long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late

And I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything is right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling

It's so inviting, oh short on money

But long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late

And I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Take me wondering through these streets
