Brand New Shoes

Tied the laces on new shoes 

Just can't walk this same old route 

Tried and died for years and years 

Everyday the same old fears 

 

Now its time to look ahead 

Off the road that wears the tread 

Beyond the line that disappears 

Across the corners where I kneeled 

 

This winding road 

That I choose to walk alone 

You must believe 

I'm just running after me 

 

Gather all my hopes and dreams 

Stuff a sackcloth full of things 

Take the memories so dear 

Pack my pillow and my tears 

 

Through the shanties and chanteuse  

Passed the stop signs and the shows 

Across the fields that look so green 

Through the dirty and the clean 

 

This road is long 

Time to write a brand new song 

I must be free 

To live everything I see 

 

Walk the road with broken thumbs 

Warm my hands out from the numb 

Off the coattails of my friends 

There's nothing more that you can lend 

 

Now I say goodbye to you 

Friends and family ,lovers ,crew 

To walk the road with these new shoes 

Right now any road will do
