Lyrics

I remember as a child I was absolutely wild 'Bout some red shoes that my aunt Lucy wore She would let me stomp around In those high heels up and down Round the house and round the wrap around porch And from that moment on I've had a pair of my own They make me feel at home and brand new They build my confidence As if they've been heaven sent I feel alone, I'm puttin' on my red shoes I begged mama, pretty please From the wishbook order me A pair of red shoes for my feet, so mama did Through the years I've thought about Aunt Lucy's love and think of how Such little things in life can make or break a kid I believe that every child Needs to feel a sense of pride And someone to love and guide and see them through So many miles I've traveled Many times they've come unraveled On the road both smooth or gravel But I've made it through, ooh Hell and half of Georgia Or walkin' through New Orleans Walked the streets of Memphis boldly Strolled around a block or two And if God sees fit to hold me Anyone that's ever known me Knows I'd walk the gold streets only In a pair of red shoes If I ever get to heaven If I ever get to heaven If I ever get to heaven And Lord I hope I do I will walk the streets of glory I will walk the streets of glory I will tell my Lucy story And walk with her in red shoes.
