I'mma tell you a story
Bout these old leather shoes
They been worn from walkin'
Yeah and singing the blues
I been living so hard
I'm just out for a cruise
I can hear the robin
My heart hurts from talking
I can hear the blues sipping robin
My heart hurts from talking
The rain drops from my hat
Cold wind at my back
These tough old shoes
Carry me through the years
I remember when I got em
Black and had the shine on em
They were slick as can be
Catch a train to catch me
Friday evening'
Run from the cops
Saturday night
Tryna fall in love
One under the bed
One in the hall
Man these shoes really seen it all
Hey Yeah!
Black Shiny Shoes!
Oh
Black Shiny Shoes!
These tough old shoes
Carry me through the years
I remember when I got em
Black and had the shine on em
They were slick as can be
Catch a train to catch me
