lyrics

Well, I'm headed out the doorway,
Leaving here today.
Nothing left to do here.
I got nothing left to say.
I was made to wander.
I was born to move,
And I feel like I got something left to prove.

All these places that I've been to,
Faces that I've seen..
All these hazy, crazy nights.
It feels just like a dream
I will kiss you in the morning,
Then I'm running down the road,
And I know these old shoes will bring me home.

Well, my coat is getting wetter.
It's raining down my neck.
People say I'm finished,
But I haven't started yet.
I see your face in windows,
Hear your voice out loud,
But you always seem to fade into the crowd.

Took me up the Eiffel Tower,
But I was scared of heights.
Didn't like that skyline,
Didn't want to see those sights.
There was three coins in the fountain-
Made my wish in Rome, but I
Knew these old shoes would take me home.

Well, these streets are filled with killers
Getting chased by guys in capes,
Preachers talking abstinence,
And Bacchus selling grapes.
The downtown train to NOHO just keeps slamming on the brakes.
The last steps are the ones that seem so slow.

Could you drive a little faster, please,
Down to Astor Place.
Gonna hang out in your doorway 'cause I
Really miss your face.

There was safety in numbers and freedom in alone, but I
Knew these old shoes would bring me home.

Three coins in the fountain,
Made my wish in Rome but I knew these old shoes would take me home.
Safety in numbers, freedom in alone, but I
Knew these old shoes would take me,
Knew these old shoes would take me.
Knew these old shoes would walk me home.
