Lyrics

[v1]
Blue tac on the map on your bedroom wall
All the places you wanna see before you get old
You can borrow my suitcase there up on the shelf
I got cement in my shoes - You’ll have to go by yourself

[v2]
You wanna move to the city for a change of scene
Find a place somewhere small and buy a washing machine
It all sounds so simple - I wish I could go
I got cement in my shoes - I guess you already know

[Br]
They keep me in one place - They weigh me down like a stone
You wanna capture the day - I wanna hide in my home
I know it don’t make sense - I know it gives you the blues
I wish I could take ‘em off - I hate these shoes too

[v3]
I been writing all night to find the line I can use
You been lying being me thinking lord what’s the use?
Go and ask any one of my few precious friends
When the hell’s he gonna dig himself out of cement?

[v4]
So go along honey babe and have a swinging good time
You got the looks and the brains - You’re gonna do just fine
You wanna shoot for the stars I wanna drink ‘til I drown
When I get outta my shoes maybe I’ll see you around

Maybe I’ll see you around
Maybe I’ll see you around
Maybe I’ll see you
