Roy Muniz About the Shoes Blues Lyrics:
One day my Daddy
took to the road
he left my Momma
with a heavy load
He had five children
and one far away
he wanted a new life, he choose LA

He ran away with Dixie
the women loved her booze
she forgot about her babies
she bought their last pair of shoes
she had the nerve to have another
they had a baby boy
they filled his cup
and filled it more
it was their only Joy
(spoken)Mercy, let me tell ya
what happened next.

One day the Judge said
take the boys from the girls
send the boys to Daddy
he ruined their worlds

he had him a chain gang
this daddys dream
three little workers to
work while he dreamed

He must of dreamed of Dixie
the women loved her booze
she forgot about her children
she forgot about their shoes
she invested in another
to salvage dreams gone by
she made her boy a little girl
and sparkle in daddys eye, Mercy

They thought they had a kingdom
They thought they had a king
They thought they loved somebody
inside their little ring
but now the dirt has settled
and there’s nothing left to say
nothing last forever
her feet is where he’s laid

Now one day my Daddy
took to the road
he left my Momma
with a heavy load
He had five children,
and one far away
he wanted a new life, he choose LA
