Well you called me up on Tuesday and you didn't sound yourself
By Thursday you had got the nerve to speak
Coughin out pneumonia on the strings of my guitar
Now you [D] won't be there to mend my need ahhh
Well you left from New York City in your shiny leather shoes
And kissed me once if only just for show
Now I've thought I could reason with your [inner little girl
But I never thought I'd be in ohi-o- ohoh
And I could see myself in your shoes: shiny leather shoes
Like acartoon man reflected on a tear
And I could see myself in your shoes: shiny leather shoes
Don't you leave me, don't leave me while I'm
Workin' way out here - ahh ha
Now all along the phone lines the songbirds stop their singing
The weeping willows all lay down and die
She was the best damn looking woman on the train from Salt Lake City
And I could [see myself in your shoes: shiny leather shoes
Like a cartoon man reflected on a tear
And I could see myself in your shoes: shiny leather shoes
Don't you leave me, don't leave me while I'm
