These Shoes

(album: Born Yesterday - 1985)

I need to buy me some new shoes
'Cause I've been walking off the blues.
My soles are coming all apart;
They're looking just like my old heart.

People think that my luck's down
'Cause I just walk the streets of town.
But I'll be stepping high real soon,
About the time I'm over you,
And you will be the first to know
'Cause I'm sending you
These worn-out shoes

These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.
There's nothing left to say:
I'll say it all to you with these worn-out shoes.

Since I've been out here on my own,
I've never felt so all alone.
I walked for days and thought of you;
I sat for hours and drank a few.

So you'll know all you put me through,
I'm sending you these worn-out shoes

These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.
There's nothing left to say:
I'll say it all to you with these worn-out shoes.

I'm sending you a real surprise
I'll bet you won't believe your eyes...

These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.

There's nothing left to say:
These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me;
These shoes, they help me walk away.

There's nothing left to say:
These shoes are all you're gonna see;
These shoes will be the last of me...
