Woke up cold one Tuesday

I'm looking tired, and feeling quite sick

I feel like there was something missing

In my day-to-day life

So I quickly opened the washer

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

Ay, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I'm saying "Hey, hey, I put some new shoes on"

And everybody's smiling, it's so might

And I'm short on money for a long, long time

Slowly swollen in my sweet sunshine

And I'm running late, and I don't need an excuse

Wearing my brand, new shoes

Woke up late on Thursday

I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes

And I felt like there was two things missing

As I focused on the time

And I made my way through the kitchen

But had to stop for my I found

A room full of all of my friends

All dancing 'round, and 'round

And I thought "Hello, new shoes, bye bye, blues"

Ay, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I'm saying "Hey, hey, I put some new shoes on"

And everybody's smiling, it's so might

And I'm short on money for a long, long time

Slowly swollen in my sweet sunshine

And I'm running late, and I don't need an excuse

Wearing my brand, new shoes

MM, mm, mm

Take me walking 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 walking through these streets

Where bright lights, and angels meet

Stone to stone, they take me on

I'm walking to the break of dawn

Ay, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I'm saying "Hey, hey, I put some new shoes on"

And everybody's smiling, it's so might

And I'm short on money for a long, long time

Slowly swollen in my sweet sunshine

And I'm running late, and I don't need an excuse

Wearing my brand, new shoes

Oh, hey, I put some new shoes

And suddenly everything's right

I'm saying "Hey, hey, I put some new shoes on"

And everybody's smiling, it's so might

And I'm short on money for a long, long time

Slowly swollen in my sweet sunshine

And I'm running late, and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand, new shoes
