Lyrics Townes Van Zandt

Townes Van Zandt

Flyin' Shoes

Days full of rain, skys comin' down again

I get so tired of these same old blues, same old song

Baby, it won't be long 'fore I be tyin' on

My flyin' shoes, flyin' shoes

Till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes

Spring only sighed, summer had to be satisfied

Fall is a feelin' that I just can't lose

I'd like to stay, maybe watch a winter day

Turn the green water to white and blue

Flyin' shoes, flyin' shoes

Till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes

The mountain moon forever sets too soon

Bein' alone is all the hills can do

Alone and then her silver sails again

And they will follow

In their flyin' shoes, flyin' shoes

They will follow in their flyin' shoes

Days full of rain, skys comin' down again

I get so tired of the same old blues, same old song

Baby, it won't be long

Till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes, flyin' shoes

Till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes
