I BOUGHT THE SHOES


CRYIN’ IN MY BEER GLASS
LISTENIN’ TO A SMART-ASS
CUSSIN’ THE BARTENDER A FEW FEET AWAY
MY WIFE SHE MADE A FAST BREAK
AND I CAN’T TAKE THE HEART ACHE
SIT HERE ON THIS BARSTOOL ONE MORE DAY

I BOUGHT HER A NEW CAR AND A CLOSET FULL OF CLOTHES
WHEN SHE SAID SHE DIDN’T LIKE IT
I PAID FOR HER NEW NOSE
I PUT HER IN A MANSION AND SUPPLIED HER EVERY NEED
I BOUGHT THE SHOES THAT JUST WALKED OUT ON ME

NO MY MOMMA TOLD ME SON YOU BETTER HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU GOT
AND DON’T BE FOOLED INTO THINKIN’ IT’S YOU
THAT’S MAKIN HER THAT HOT
IT’S THAT DIAMOND RING THAT FANCY CAR
AND YOU’RE BRAND NEW WATCH AND CHAIN
YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT UP GO STRAIGHT TO HELL
WHEN YOU GIVE HER YOUR NAME

I BOUGHT HER A NEW CAR AND A CLOSET FULL OF CLOTHES
WHEN SHE SAID SHE DIDN’T LIKE IT
I PAID FOR HER NEW NOSE
I PUT HER IN A MANSION AND SUPPLIED HER EVERY NEED
I BOUGHT THE SHOES THAT JUST WALKED OUT ON ME

WALK ON

I BOUGHT HER A NEW CAR AND A CLOSET FULL OF CLOTHES
WHEN SHE SAID SHE DIDN’T LIKE IT
I PAID FOR HER NEW NOSE
I PUT HER IN A MANSION AND SUPPLIED HER EVERY NEED
I BOUGHT THE SHOES THAT JUST WALKED OUT ON ME
YEAH I BOUGHT THE SHOES THAT JUST WALKED OUT ON ME
