Sittin' my front porch these days things are lookin' up / I'm lookin down Mexican yard sale / Right across my way I'm lookin' out / I'm puttin my name down I wake up in the morning / I hear sweet church music As I walk, I know I need me some new shoes I ain't got money for these blues / as I walk I need money for these new shoes She said give me time / I said I've had enough Takin' risks these days / All out luck If I try I know I've got all that soul leekin' inside Time these days is draggin by / Time these days is draggin' by I might as well pick up something new And if I get some money from you I'm gonna buy me some new shoes Cuz its walkin round these day's it's just too hard to get where I gotta get to I need money for my brand new shoe Brand new, snappy, snappy boots
