Woke up late one Tuesday
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
I felt like there was two days missing in my day to day life
So I quickly opened the wardrobe
Pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean
And 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 of money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
I'm running late, I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Woke up late one Thursday
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 my friends going dancing 'round and 'round
And I thought 'hello new shoes, bye bye them blues'

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 of money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
I'm running late, I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Take me wondering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking to the break of dawn

I said, take me wondering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking to the break of dawn

I said, 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 of money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
I'm running late, I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

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 of money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
I'm running late, I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
