From the recording Life and Depth
Lyrics
Red Shoes
Always keep that smile you've got flashing all around
Always keep your bright eyes up and off the ground.
Remember your manners and a prayer before you sleep.
And always wear your red shoes
to match your heart
when it’s out
on your sleeve.
Live your life while your young
work it till your old.
don't ever lose that knock knock joke
down in your soul
remember your family and the love that you receive
And always wear your red shoes
to match your heart
when it’s out
on your sleeve.
Always be traveling light
with lots of underwear
don’t every think your mama’s
out of range when you swear.
Keep your faith
Don’t ever not believe
And always wear your red shoes
to match your heart
when it’s out
on your sleeve.
Now all the things that you can’t trust
have to do with romance
Always know when to run
And when to take a chance
It all works out
In the end as you perceive
So always wear your red shoes
to match your heart
when it’s out
on your sleeve.
