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

 

# 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 of my friends

All dancing round and round

And I thought

Hello, new shoes; bye bye, blues

 

Repeat #

 

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



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
