Janis Ian The Old Man's Shoes
People trying to mess with my security Nobody knows what you really mean to me I got angels to the right and to the left of me Ain't gonna stagger home no more
It's apparent from the night that you've been dreaming too You need a warrant for the right to be scheming like you do There ought to be a law against falling for you Who's gonna play surrender now
I said thank you a lot for your big mountain top but it ain't gonna worry me no more Do what you will if it gives you a thrill Take what you can when you can can, my man Take it on the lam, Sam Don't look back, man at the sand in the old man's shoes
Me and Roberta we're gonna get real clean Put on our high heeled shoes and make the scene Dance until the music and the lights turn green Stay until the moon gets new
Roberta she looks just like a foreign movie star She like for you to push, but don't push too far Anyway where's the rush, why do you wanna be so hard Who's gonna play pretender now
Chorus
