Shiny, bright, and very neat
Those are the shoes of a fool
See them through that swingin' door
Right across that barroom floor
Those are the shoes of a fool
That small and dainty pair
that walked beside them for so long
And never had an awful lot to say
Got tired of all those neon lights
and all those lies and sleepless nights
Just up and clicked her heels
See one there wearin' Aristail
The other hangin' on a rail
Those are the shoes of a fool
Actin' witty, wise and smart
Just to hide a broken heart
Those are the shoes of a fool
That small and dated pair
that walked beside them for so long
And never had an awful lot to say
Got tired of all those neon lights
And all those lies and sleepless nights
Just up and picked her heels
See them through that swinging door
Right across that barroom floor
Those are the shoes of a fool
