$1000 High Heel Shoes

(album: Detroit Stories - 2021)

Sometimes I drive all day, until there's nothing left in my tank
(Shoo doowop, shoo doowop, ooh)
You know I'm breaking my back, but man I'm sure not breaking the bank
(Shoo doowop, shoo doowop, ooh)
I hope my ship comes in, but I'm pretty sure that ship done sank
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I used to draw some cash, but now I just draw a blank
(Shoo doowop, shoo doowop, ooh)

She slides in cool and tall
She don't wear no clothes at all (Ooh)
She's dancing to her own kind of rhythm and blues
In a tiny dog collar and her thousand dollar, high heel shoes

I can't pay my bills, can't even cover all my bets
(Shoo doowop, shoo doowop, ooh)
There's some guys looking for me, who are way past idle threats
(Shoo doowop, shoo doowop, ooh)
She's on the line all the time and she's amplifying all of my debts
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
But, there ain't one single moment that I cry or feel regret
(Shoo doowop, shoo doowop, ooh)

She slides in cool and tall
She don't wear no clothes at all (Ooh)
She's dancing to her own kind of rhythm and blues
In a tiny dog collar and her thousand, dollar high heel shoes

It seems my meager bank account's becoming absolutely obsolete
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And all my hard-earned money's walking round down on her feet
(Shoo doowop, shoo doowop, ooh)

She slides in cool and tall
She don't wear no clothes at all (Ooh)
She's dancing to her own kind of rhythm and blues
In a tiny dog collar and her thousand dollar, high heel shoes
High heel shoes
High heel shoes
Thousand dollar, high heel shoes
