These Old Shoes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, they said it was the cheapest fare at this time of year
And they said, "It's nice and safe, you got nothing to fear"
So I will take this old plane to get to you
Yes, I will take this old plane to get to you
[Verse 2]
Twenty minutes late the plane crashes down
And I'm one of three left amongst a priest and a clown
And then all I can hear is the hiss of the track
I said, why the hell not and I jump on the back
And I will take this old train to get to you
Yes, I will take this old train to get to you
[Verse 3]
She said, "Get off my train, you dirty hobo"
And I tried to explain but it was a no go
It was a no go for this hobo
He said for fifty bucks, I could take it
He was sure that this lemon could make it
So I will take this old car to get to you
Yes, I will take this old car to get to you
[Verse 4]
Couple miles out of this old part of town
My engine explodes with a horrible sound
But I will take these old shoes to get to you
Yes, I will take these old shoes to get to you
Oh, I will take these old shoes to get to you
Yes, I will take these old shoes to get to you
Well, they said it was the cheapest fare at this time of year
And they said, "It's nice and safe, you got nothing to fear"
So I will take this old plane to get to you
Yes, I will take this old plane to get to you
[Verse 2]
Twenty minutes late the plane crashes down
And I'm one of three left amongst a priest and a clown
And then all I can hear is the hiss of the track
I said, why the hell not and I jump on the back
And I will take this old train to get to you
Yes, I will take this old train to get to you
[Verse 3]
She said, "Get off my train, you dirty hobo"
And I tried to explain but it was a no go
It was a no go for this hobo
He said for fifty bucks, I could take it
He was sure that this lemon could make it
So I will take this old car to get to you
Yes, I will take this old car to get to you
[Verse 4]
Couple miles out of this old part of town
My engine explodes with a horrible sound
But I will take these old shoes to get to you
Yes, I will take these old shoes to get to you
Oh, I will take these old shoes to get to you
Yes, I will take these old shoes to get to you
