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
