I Bought The Shoes

(Dale Dodson/Jimmy Melton/Ken Melons)

Designer names and diamond rings, are just some of the finer things
I thought it took to keep her satisfied
But a bank account and credit cards, a circle drive thru an acre yard
Couldn't feel that lonesome feeling, that she had inside

I bought her fancy clothes, for all occasions
And that new car so she could go just any ole where she pleased
I bought the golden band she wore, on the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

Leaving early and stayin out late, I thought for sure her love would wait
Until the day that I could find the time
But all the things that she expected, were all the things that I neglected
What she wanted from me would not have cost a dime

I bought her fancy clothes, for all occasions
And that new car so she could go just any ole where she pleased
I bought the golden band she wore, on the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

I bought the golden band she wore, on the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Yes I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
