Verse 1
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.
Chorus
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, its so inviting,
Oh,
short on money, but long
on time,
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
and
i’m running late,
and i dont
need an excuse,
’cause i’m
wearing my brand new shoes.
Verse 2
Woke up late one thursday,
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, byebye blues.
Chorus
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, its so inviting,
Oh,
short on money, but
long on time,
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
and i’m running late,
and i dont
need an excuse,
’cause i’m
wearing my brand new shoes.
Breakdown
Take me wondering through these streets,
where bright lights and angels meet,
stone to stone they take me on,
im walking to the break of dawn.
