Lyrics
?NO SHOES ON MY FEET?
©2000 LONG/ALDEN
April 18, 2005 (REWRITE)
THE PAINT IS CHIPPIN? OFF
FROM THESE OLD BARE WALLS
COLD AIR CREEPIN? THROUGH THE DOORS
IT?S A LITTLE BIT COLD IN THE FALL.
WITH THE CREEKIN? PIPES AND THE BURNED OUT LIGHTS
GRASS WAY PAST MY KNEES.
I?D GIVE UP NOW BUT I REMEMBER HOW
MOMMA SHE USED TO SAY TO ME?
CHORUS:
SHE?D SAY, ?GIRL I USED TO WALK??
WITH NO SHOES ON MY FEET
2 MILES TO GO TO SCHOOL?
NO BUS TO CARRY ME
I WORKED ODD JOBS
JUST SO I COULD EAT.
THEN I?D WALK BACK HOME?
WITH NO SHOES ON MY FEET?
LOOK AT THE OLD PICKUP TRUCK
?BOUT READY FOR THE CINDER BLOCKS?
BUT IT GETS ME WHERE I NEED TO GO
EVERY MORNING ?BOUT 5 O?CLOCK?
WITH THE CLOSED DOWN MILLS AND THE STACKED UP BILLS
KIDS SCREAMIN? BACK AT ME?.
I?D GIVE UP NOW BUT I REMEMBER HOW
MOMMA SHE USED TO SAY TO ME?
CHORUS:
BRIDGE
MOMMA TAUGHT ME WRONG FROM RIGHT
SHE?D SAY,?YOU CAN?T GIVE UP IN THIS LIFE??
She'd Say...
I WORKED ODD JOBS AT NIGHT JUST SO I COULD EAT
THEN I?D WALK BACK HOME
WITH NO SHOES ON MY FEET? (NO SHOES ON MY FEET)
NO SHOES ON MY FEET? (NO SHOES ON MY FEET)
NO SHOES ON MY FEET? (NO SHOES ON MY FEET)
