I bought you the shoes you're walking away in...
Those bright royal blues you said you would stay in...
I spent all my money and a whole lot of wasted time...
I bought you the shoes, you gave me the blues...
And you stomped on this poor heart of mine.
I bought you the shoes on the day that we married...
Only to lose the woman they carried...
Who would have thought someone who had such beautiful shoes...
Would turn right around and walk out of town...
With a new love...(Pause for effect)
And a new pair of shoes...
Sung with a disturbing nasal twang I still remember it thirty years later.
