Flyin' Shoes

by Townes Van Zandt

Days full of rain

skys comin' down again

I get so tired

of these same old blues

same old song

Baby, it won't be long

'fore I be tyin' on

my flyin' shoes

flyin' shoes

till I be tyin' on

my flyin' shoes

Spring only sighed

summer had to be satisfied

fall is a feelin' that I just can't lose.

I'd like to stay

maybe watch a winter day

turn the green water

to white and blue

flyin' shoes

flyin' shoes

till I be tyin' on

my flyin' shoes

The mountain moon

forever sets too soon

bein' alone is all the hills can do

alone and then

her silver sails again

and they will follow

in their flyin' shoes

flyin' shoes

they will follow in their

flyin' shoes

Days full of rain

skys comin' down again

I get so tired

of the same old blues

same old song

Baby, it won't be long

till I be tyin' on

my flyin' shoes

flyin' shoes

till I be tyin' on

my flyin' shoes
