These old shoes ain't getting any younger.
This young mind ain't getting it, so don't bother.
Take me round, show me what you got back there
'Cause I got some questions and I need you to care.
I'll take your hand and you take mine.
Maybe I'll figure it, oh, out this time.
You brought me up and you took me out
Of that place that I was in that was plagued by men.
You stood behind me when I was
Covered by that shadow of a doubt.
I ran away when you called my name
Down that road that I'd go when it was dark and cold. (?)
And now I need some brand new shoes.
Steps I'm climbing, they're getting a little steeper.
The sea I'm swimming is getting a little deeper, no.
All these obstacles seem to be
Getting harder and harder to get through.
Guess I'm going to need a little help from you.
Show me the way and I'll get by.
Maybe I'll take a listen all this time. (?)
You brought me up and you took me out
Of that place that I was in that was plagued by men.
You stood behind me when I was
Covered by that shadow of a doubt.
I ran away when you called my name
Down that road that I'd go when it was dark and cold. (?)
And now I need some brand new shoes.
One too many times, said I could do this on my own.
Now you're in charge. Bring my back from this place that I know.
You brought me up and you took me out
Of that place that I was in that was plagued by men.
You stood behind me when I was
Covered by that shadow of a doubt.
I ran away when you called my name
Down that road that I'd go when it was dark and cold. (?)
And now I need some brand new shoes.
And now I need some brand new shoes.
And now I need some brand new shoes.
