Lyrics: Lester Blackwell
Music: Lester Blackwell
Played by Jerry Garcia on banjo with David Nelson and High Country in 1969.
I’m breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
Don’t look at me like you think I’ve got the blues
‘Cause I’m walking ’round and around and I’m seeing most of the town
I’m just breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
I’m doggone if I’m gonna cry the blues
My feet are sore but I’ve got no time to lose
‘Cause I want her here with me and I need her company
I’m just breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
Ah so I’m talking to myself
Oh no she’s not putting me on the shelf
I’m just breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
I’m doggone if I’m gonna cry the blues
My feet are sore but I’ve got no time to lose
‘Cause I want her here with me and I need her company
I’m just breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
Ah so I’m talking to myself
Oh no she’s not putting me on the shelf
I’m just breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
