Janis Ian - The Old Man's Shoes lyrics
[Janis Ian - The Old Man's Shoes lyrics]
People trying to mess with my security
Nobody knows what you really mean to me
I got angels to the right and
To the left of me
Ain't gonna stagger home no more
It's apparent from the night that
You've been dreaming too
You need a warrant for the right
To be scheming like you do
There ought to be a law
Against falling for you
Who's gonna play surrender now
I said thank you a lot
For your big mountain top
But it ain't gonna worry me no more
Do what you will if it gives you a thrill
Take what you can when you can can, my man
Take it on the lam, Sam don't look back, man
At the sand in the old man's shoes
Me and Roberta we're gonna get real clean
Put on our high heeled shoes
And make the scene dance until the music and
The lights turn green
Stay until the moon gets new
Roberta she looks just like
A foreign movie star
She like for you to push
But don't push too far
Anyway where's the rush
Why do you wanna be so hard
Who's gonna play pretender now
I said thank you a lot
For your big mountain top
But it ain't gonna worry me no more
Do what you will if it gives you a thrill
Take what you can when you can can, my man
Take it on the lam, Sam don't look back, man
At the sand in the old man's shoes
Nobody knows what you really mean to me
I got angels to the right and
To the left of me
Ain't gonna stagger home no more
It's apparent from the night that
You've been dreaming too
You need a warrant for the right
To be scheming like you do
There ought to be a law
Against falling for you
Who's gonna play surrender now
I said thank you a lot
For your big mountain top
But it ain't gonna worry me no more
Do what you will if it gives you a thrill
Take what you can when you can can, my man
Take it on the lam, Sam don't look back, man
At the sand in the old man's shoes
Me and Roberta we're gonna get real clean
Put on our high heeled shoes
And make the scene dance until the music and
The lights turn green
Stay until the moon gets new
Roberta she looks just like
A foreign movie star
She like for you to push
But don't push too far
Anyway where's the rush
Why do you wanna be so hard
Who's gonna play pretender now
I said thank you a lot
For your big mountain top
But it ain't gonna worry me no more
Do what you will if it gives you a thrill
Take what you can when you can can, my man
Take it on the lam, Sam don't look back, man
At the sand in the old man's shoes
