WORN OUT SHOES © Peter James Armstrong, 2010 (Sonic Deli/SOCAN) V1 She's got a heart made out of trouble And the devil’s sitting in plain sight The TV’s set to a Christian station Promising salvation inside V2 Now she lives with a ghost in a burned out basement Just off rural route 64 She’s got a heart just like a filling station Where folks keep comin’ back for more CH1 You can catch her dancin’ on the front porch In her worn out shoes She’s doing the boogie-woogie To those Elvis Presley tunes Now she might have lived a hard life You can see it in her eyes She’s dancin’ on that wooden porch With the devil most every night V3 Now a few years back there’s a guy named Jack Stumblin’ up the road He’s like a rattlesnake with a worn out shaker Carrying a heavy load V4 Well, poor old Jack came ‘pon that wooden shack Let his knuckles roll Where he heard a preacher on a TV speaker And the sound of a radio CH2 You can catch ‘em dancin’ on the front porch In their worn out shoes Doin’ the boogie woogie To those Elvis Presley tunes Now they might have lived a hard life You can read it in their eyes And they’re dancin’ up a storm Each and every night
