Larry Norman - Blue Shoes White lyrics

I had the rhythm of living in my shoes Along come the rhythm and blues The blues caught up and put me in a trance And my shoes refused to dance, dance, dance My life began to slip and slide And I had no hope, I had no place to hide I borrowed a gun, I had nothing to lose I figured it's time to hang up my shoes He came along that very day He asked my I walked that way My soles half worn and my tongue hung about With broken laces I'm tripping out He said to me, get up and walk And I said, why don't we sit down and talk? He said, how 'bout a new sword (?) I said uh-uh, no chance I'm gonna put these shoes in an ambulance He reached right out and touched my toes Everybody knows how the rest of the story goes If you're steppin' through life then my appeal Is to follow in his footsteps and get your soles re-heeled And if you wanna give your feet a treat Honey get ready to walk down those golden streets But be careful how you use your shoes And don't waste your time on the rhythm and blues He turns blue shoes white He turns blue shoes white He makes your wrong feel alright He turns your black soul white He turns blue shoes white
