Red Shoes

I remember as a child

I was absolutely wild

About some red shoes that my Aunt Lucille wore

She would let me stomp

In those high heels up and down

'Round the house a

And 'round the wrap around porch

And from that moment on

I have had a pair of my own

But I'd make me feel at home when brand new

They'd build my confidence

As if they'd been heaven sent

I'd 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 Luci'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 have made it through-o-o-o

Haven? The Georgia

Or walking through New Orleans

Walked the streets of Memphis?

Drove around a block or two

And if God sees fit to hold me

Anyone thats ever known me

Know I'd walk the golden 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 Luci a story

And walk with her there in red shoes
