Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes - Joe Ely Lyrics

Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes

And Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun gettin' hotter and hotter
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

I went to the courthouse to speak my mind
They told me to stand in a long long line

All of my people need freedom and grace
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun shinin' in my face Baby needs a new pair of shoes

I wanna talk to the people who run this town
I'm gettin' tired of this merry-go-round

All of my people need common respect
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun burning down my neck
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

All I wanna do is to get back home
Instead of wastin' away at this Superdome

All of my people need food and water
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun gettin' hotter and hotter
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

All of my people need freedom and grace
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun shinin' in my face
Baby needs a new pair of shoes

All of my people need...
All of my people need...
All of my people need...
All of my people need...
You got to pass it around
