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, 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 off my friends all dancing round and round, And I thought hello new shoes, Bye bye them blues.
[Chorus]
Take me wandering through these streets, Where bright lights and angels meet, Stone to stone they take me on, I'm walking till' the break of dawn. [x2]
