I walk these city streets And I’m hurting to my feet Teardrops sparkle in the neon glare It’s not my heart that takes the knocks I’m hurting in my socks And the hurting’s working slowly up from there
But I’m gonna buy some red leather shoes I’m gonna walk these lonely streets in style My face ain’t the kind of face they welcome in this place But my red leather shoes gonna make ‘em smile
By the church they fixed s sign It says “The Lord’s A Friend Of Mine” I stopped in there and knelt down for a time I didn’t go there to be blessed Just to give my feet a rest And though I didn’t find a friend I found a diamond
So I’m gonna buy some red leather shoes I’m gonna walk these lonely streets in style My face ain’t the kind of face they welcome in this place But my red leather shoes gonna make ‘em smile
I knew when I hit town I’d hear no “Come on round” I knew these streets could make a boy so sad I knew these city folk Could treat you like a joke But I never knew my feet could hurt this bad
But I’m gonna buy some red leather shoes I’m gonna walk these lonely streets in style My face ain’t the kind of face they welcome in this place But my red leather shoes gonna make ‘em smile
You know I’m praying those pretty shoes make someone smile
