Intro: Verse: Woke up cold one Tuesday I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick I felt like there were two days 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 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 Verse: 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 my friends dancing round and round And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye them blues 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 Bridge: Take me wondering through these streets Where bright lights and angels meet Stone to stone they take me on I'm walking to the break of dawn I said take me wondering through these streets Where bright lights and angels meet Stone to stone they take me on I'm walking to the break of dawn I said, 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 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
