I woke up cold one Tuesday I'm looking tired, I'm 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 Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling It's so inviting, though 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 Then I made my way to the kitchen But had to stop from the shock of what I found A room full of all of my friends all dancing round and round And I thought, hello new shoes, bye-bye blues Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling It's so inviting, though 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 Take me wandering through these streets Where bright lights and angels meet Stone to stone they take me on I'm walking to the break of dawn Take me wandering through these streets Where bright lights and angels meet Stone to stone they take me on I'm walking to the break of dawn Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling It's so inviting, though 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 Oh, hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling It's so inviting, though 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
