I've got these orthopedic shoes
Etched out of clay and stained with booze
They take me to the edge of town
We step on mice and weeding gowns
Scrape off the dirt, the ifs, the buts
Scrape off the please forget me nots
Write in dirt, in ifs, in buts
Write it in beds and parking lots
I've got these orthopedic shoes
Laced up with pride and little sense
Passed on like jewellery or romance
Father and son and master plans
They take me to the edge of town
Reclaim our tools, reclaim our crown
Write in dirt, in ifs, in buts
Write it in beds and parking lots
