These Old Shoes [War Elephant, 2008, Partisan Records, USA] (Country Rock)
Well, they said, “it was the cheapest fare at this time of year” And they said, “It’s nice and safe, you got nothing to fear” So I will take this old plane to get to you Yes, I will take this old plane to get to you
Twenty minutes late the plane crashes down And I’m one of three left amongst a priest and a clown And then all I can hear is the hiss of the track I said, “why the hell not” and I jump on the back And I will take this old train to get to you Yes, I will take this old train to get to you
She said, “get off my train you dirty hobo” And I tried to explain but it was a no go It was a no go for this hobo
He said for fifty bucks I could take it He was sure that this lemon could make it So I will take this old car to get to you Yes, I will take this old car to get to you
(He said you could take it)
Couple miles out of this old part of town My engine explodes with a horrible sound But I will take these old shoes to get to you Yes, I will take these old shoes to get to you Oh, I will take these old shoes to get to you Yes, I will take these old shoes to get to you
