Red Shoes Lyrics by Tom Rhodes

Tom Rhodes

2004

[Verse 1]
Lacey's shopping for some new shoes
Something new and something bright
Says she feels a bit upside down right now
And said she feels a bit uptight

[Verse 2]
She said it's hard when you're pent up
To just letting go
And when you do let go
It's hard to stop
And you've got to find a balance
Between the two
And that's what I'm looking for in my new red shoes
That's what I'm looking for, something completely new

[Chorus]
She said it's not all fun and games in this world of mine
And I'm an iceberg breaking off
One piece at a time
But it's really not that bad when I start to shine
And I'm amazed at what a littlе color can do
I'm amazed at what a little color can do

[Verse 3]
So them bluе suede, it stayed on
A bit too long
And it's time to wake up the night
And shake hands with the dawn
'Cause she is tired of lacing up
Just to be brought down
So she's looking for answers
Down in old Georgetown
And she's going to spend her green, green dollars
On something to make her shine
She picked the light up, from the ground up
From her feet to her mind

[Chorus]
She said it's not all fun and games in this world of mine
And I'm an iceberg breaking off
One piece at a time
But it's really not that bad when I start to shine
And I'm amazed at what a little color can do
I'm amazed at what a little color can do

[Bridge]
But if you see her floating down M Street
Don't you bring her down
You won't miss those new shoes
Sticking out amongst the black
And the brown ones on the ground
'Cause they'll be the brightest ones around
And she'll be the brightest one around

[Chorus]
She said it's not all fun and games in this world of mine
And I'm an iceberg breaking off
One piece at a time
But it's really not that bad when I start to shine
And I'm amazed at what a little color can do
I'm amazed at what a little color can do
