I can see you've thrown my old slippers out the door

And once again I'll hide 'em like I've done those times before

Honey they just got to where they're feelin' good

And if you only knew me better, you'd know why they would



chorus

I'm just like an old pair of shoes

That get to feelin' good right when a hole wears through

You can wear me like an old pair of shoes

That have done a lot of walkin' through a lot of bad blues

Well I've walked in and out of love before

And like me it won't be the first time these old shoes

Have been thrown out the door



We can shine 'em up and make 'em look as good as new

Wear 'em out on the town and dance a dance or two

You can see they still got a mile or two

You'd have a change of thought and know they're not

Just another old pair of shoes



chorus

I'm just like an old pair of shoes

That get to feelin' good right when a hole wears through

You can wear me like an old pair of shoes

That have done a lot of walkin' through a lot of bad blues

Well I've walked in and out of love before

And like me it won't be the first time these old shoes

Have been thrown out the door
