Davis Coen - New Shoes Blues lyrics

rate me

I don't know why it's soaking wet out here outside

hobo-in' on a train nowhere just for the ride

I remember when it cost me one thin dime

just to get my lady on the line

I know you see me out here all the time

just workin' hard to drink me a bottle of wine

I didn't mean to come on too strong

ain't been the same since the company gone

I've been tied down to them old brown shoes for days

now I don't care 'bout a single thing she says

You see me out in the world ridin' freights and shucking corn

through sleet and rain of Midwest to Californ'

I see you baby down at the five-and-dime

been a long time since all the land done died

If I call you again I'll try not to come on too strong

ain't desperation I'm just nervous for doing wrong

All I need is my new shoes, just to help me get rid of my old shoes x2

I didn't mean to come on too strong

It ain't been the seem since my kid wifey gone

and all I want is my new shoes,

just to help me get rid of my old shoes

All I need is my new shoes

just to help me get rid of my old shoes<br />

<br />
