Hey, I put some new shoes on

Woke up cold one tuesday,
I’m looking tired and feeling quite sick,
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
so I quickly opened the wardrobe,
pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
that were ripped around the seams,
and I thought these shoes just don’t suit me.

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
and suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody’s smiling,
it’s so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
but long on time,
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
and I’m running late,
and I don’t need an excuse,
’cause I’m wearing my brand new shoes.
