I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

Lace em up tight, and walk out on you

I'm going down town before this day is through

And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes 


I've been saving nickels and dimes

Waiting for just the right time

And I woke up this morning

With a pocket of change 


So I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

Lace em up tight, and walk out on you

I'm going down town before this day is through

And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes 


We've worn that good feeling out

Tore down everything but the house

And someone's gotta to do

Something about you and me 


So I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

Lace em up tight, and walk out on you

I'm going down town before this day is through

And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes 


And it won't take me long to try this new life on

I'll be as good as we are through 


I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

Lace em up tight, and walk out on you

I'm going down town before this day is through

And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes 


I'm going down town before this day is through

And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes
