I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
The path that you led
Was straight to your bed
Theres no cots to sleep in
And you showed me
Who I was running from
As if I had not known all along
Oh my old feet
They know this hard street
Stay like old friends
Youre flat on the ground
Theres no further down
Theres no cots to sleep in
So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor

(Chorus:)
And I know youre hurting
And I cant be there for you
And I know youre hurting
And I cant be there no more
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And Id like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
Theres nothing more I can bring to you
They are scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, Ill go and walk right through
And Ill show you
Who Ive been running from
Its the feeling of waking
And it's gone

(chorus)

I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And Id like to keep them
Oh now your feet
They know this hard street
Theyre like old friends
Youre flat on the ground
Theres no further down
Theres no cots to sleep in
So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor

(chorus)

I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And Id like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
Theres nothing more I can bring to you
They are scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, Ill go and walk right through
And Ill show you
Who Ive been running from
Its the feeling of waking
And it's gone
