Lyrics
I BOUGHT THE SHOES
I gave that woman everything she wanted
worked hard all day to satisfiy that girl
I gave affection most of you gals would die for
and a love that knew no bounderies in this world
she wanted somethin' I could never give her
she wanted freedom to run around on me
she found a man that sweet talked her to leavin'
now I'm standin' here as lonely as can be
I bought the car that drove her to another man's arms
I bought the perfume she tried at the store
I bought the dress she wore that night to meet him
I bought the shoes that walked her out the door
I can't believe she wanted to leave our happy home
we had the good things money don't buy
now I guess her leavin' me must be good fortune
'cause now her cheatin' heart belongs to the other guy
I bought the car that drove her to another man's arms
I bought the perfume she tried at the store
I bought the dress she wore that night to meet him
I bought the shoes that walked her out the door
I bought the car that drove her to another man's arms
I bought the perfume she tried at the store
I bought the dress she wore that night to meet him
I bought the shoes that walked her out the door
