"Red Shoes" Lyrics:

I remember as a child

I was absolutely wild'

Bout some red shoes that my aunt Lucy wore

She would let me stomp around

In those high heels up and down

Round the house and round the wrap around porch

And from that moment on

I've had a pair of my own

They make me feel at home and brand new

They build my confidence

As if they've been heaven sent

I feel alone, I'm puttin' on my red shoes

I begged mama, "Pretty please,

From the wishbook order me,

A pair of red shoes for my feet", so mama did

Through the years I've thought about

Aunt Lucy's love and think of how

Such little things in life can make or break a kid

I believe that every child

Needs to feel a sense of pride

And someone to love and guide and see them through

So many miles I've traveled

Many times they've come unraveled

On the road both smooth or gravel

But I've made it through, ooh

Hell and half of Georgia

Or walkin' through New Orleans

Walked the streets of Memphis boldly

Strolled around a block or two

And if God sees fit to hold me

Anyone that's ever known me

Knows I'd walk the gold streets only

In a pair of red shoes

And if I ever get to heaven

If I ever get to heaven

If I ever get to heaven

And Lord I hope I do

I will walk the streets of glory

I will walk the streets of glory

I will tell my Lucy story

And walk with her in red shoes
