Red Shoes

(Musical demo vocals)

You jerked the Bible away from me
You used to say, if our love's to be
He was holding on, to all our wishes
A golden Easter, for morning kisses

But now the baby lays, in the back seat
Pack of cigarettes lay, in the dash in front of me
In the front seat, there's a bottle of whiskey
I better get home, before it gets me

Gonna buy me a new hat, and some red shoes
I need a new month, for these old news
He's no longer, holding on
'Cause my faith in you, it ain't long from gone

Will he pin them up, in front of the church pews?
And they roped up his hands, and then he cried for you
Well, the plan was to teach you a lesson
Now the lesson, just keeping you guessing

Gonna buy you a new hat, and some red shoes
You need a new guy, for this old fool
He's no longer, holding on
'Cause your faith in this one, it ain't long from gone

Well, I thumb my rosary, like a deck of cards
When I'm counting the days, 'til your head's on my heart
With your fleshy little temples, and the size of your eye
'Til there's soaking in the starch, and you're gripping my tie

That matches my new hat, and my red shoes
I need a new month for these old blues
It's no longer holding on
'Cause my faith in you, it ain't long from gone
'Cause my faith in you, it ain't long from gone
'Cause my faith in you, it ain't long from gone
