BLUE SUEDE SHOES
written by Chris Garneau

i hope you don't go away
i still have some nice things
to do and say
i don't laugh when i can
i don't feel like a very good man
but you, you know me well
wouldn't it be swell to find nothing blue
about me and you.
your blue suede shoes -
you left them on mine last night
after the wine and the fight.
but we're a dime in a well
that hard to find they lose their mind
just thinking about me and you
your blue suede shoes
you left them on mine last night
it's alright

i do - i take care of the love
cuz red rockets fly if you don't.
i'm always gonna worry about this
but you'll tell me it's okay chris.
i can't tell you why babies cry
our lives - they won't keep us alive

oh i hope you don't go away
i still have some nice things do and say
like - we're a dime in a well
that hard to find they lose their mind
just thinking about me and you.
and your blue suede shoes
you left them on mine last night
but it's alright
i will try to laugh when i can
i'll try, i will try to be a better man.
