Alone with My Shoes

i’m tryin' to drag the weight of the years
i’m lookin' for someone to dry my tears
the route is too long, the end is unknown
i don’t want a car and i don’t need a phone
ramblin' in the night i lose my worried mind
alone with my shoes i know the past is behind
i’ve been workin' too long, my arms only know
baby i’m tired and i’ve changed my pose
slave of the time i swallow the pain
watchin' my tears flowin' down the drain
lost in the world my life is hard to grind
alone with my shoes you know i’m the other kind
i’m tryin' to find the way to be strong
i’m lookin' for something to write this song
the pen is the cure, paper sheet is the rest
soon i will go to the place that’s the best
singin' in the night i show my little soul
alone with my shoes i’m sure i can jump the hole
i’ve been drinkin' too much, you know it’s true
baby i’m down and the sky looks so blue
it’s been a long time i feel like a wreck
enjoy this choice to get back on the track
starin' at the sun when the wind blows through my hair
alone with my shoes it’s time to move on, i swear
