I Bought The Shoes

Designer names and diamond rings

Are just some of the finer things

I thought it took to keep her satisfied

But a bank account and credit cards

A circle drive through an acre yard

Couldn't fill that lonesome feelin'

That she held inside

I bought her fancy clothes for all occasions

And that new car so she could go

Just any old where she pleased

I bought the golden band she wore

On the hand that closed the door

And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

♪

Leavin' early and stayin' out late

I thought for sure her love would wait

Until the day that I could find the time

But all the things that she expected

Were all the things that I neglected

For what she wanted most from me

Would not have cost a dime

I bought her fancy clothes for all occasions

And that new car so she could go

Just any old where she pleased

I bought the golden band she wore

On the hand that closed the door

And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

I bought the golden band she wore

On the hand that closed the door

And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

Yes, I bought those shoes that just walked out on me
