Three Dollar Shoes Lyrics by Blue Jay Walker

2020

[Verse 1]
I paid three bucks for a cheap pair of shoes
And I figured I'd dance out my walking Blues
And I sway to the words on the Channel 6 news
That said, all the world, it was grieving
Dark, black, and simple, like candy is sweet
A spring in my step as I bounce down the street
Feel the soul of the road through the soles of my feet
There's a place I must go, so I'm leaving
[Chorus]
If all of life is but a dream
I guess I'll start sleepwalking
If who I am is where I've been
I'll let my shoes do the talking
[Verse 2]
I waltz through the streets of the black cladden sea
Twisted down alleys, what did I see?
Somebody comes smiling, they grin back at mе
But I know their smiles are dеceiving
I'd walk in your shoes for a mile or two
But I'd rather wear mine and walk beside you
Tighten your laces, get up and push through
Until you're alright, I'm not leaving
[Chorus]
If all of life is but a dream
I guess I'll start sleepwalking
If who I am is where I've been
I'll let my shoes do the talking
[Verse 3]
Three dollar kicks, so they suit me just fine
Why tiptoe through life, I can't quite toe the line
What I wear on my feet isn't quite what defines
What defines me hides and my paces
Simple black things do mourn a dead king
Honour a good man with shoes tied by string
But I know mine's alive so that's why I must sing
There's hope and it's strong like the laces
[Chorus 2]
If all of life is but a dream
I guess I'll start sleepwalking
If who I am is where I've been
I'll let my shoes do the talking
And blessed are the feet of he
Who carries the good news along
So tie up your shoes, go onto the world
And sing a revisal song
