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 So I quickly opened the wardrobe, Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean, Topped 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 shoes on 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 eyes, And I felt like there were two days 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, room full of all of my friends dancing round and round, And I thought hello new shoes, Bye bye them blues.
Hey, I put some 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 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.
Take me wandering through these streets, Where bright lights and meet, Stone to stone they take me on, I'm walking to the break of dawn. [x2]
[CHORUS (x2)] Take me wandering through these streets
