PUT ON YOUR OLD BROWN SHOES Lyrics

Put on your old brown shoes

Right on your feet

Time to move on, get away

You know you paid your dues

Did all you could

Time to move on, no more to say

You and me, we're helpless can't you see

We've got to get away, get away

Got to move on, 'til the madness around is gone

And the rest of our lives we'll be free

Kick out the morning blues

Who needs a job

Who needs pain and oppression

You know it can't be beat

Stand on your own two feet

Goodbye rain and depression

You and me, we're helpless can't you see

We've got to get away, get away

Got to move on, catch the next train

 and we'll be gone

And the rest of our lives we'll be free

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

You know a friend is a friend

You don't leave him in trouble

He got a little drunk so now he's seeing double

Don't you see him there yeah lying in the rubble

But you have to lend a hand

'Cause you know he's on the level

You and me, we're helpless can't you see

We've got to get away, get away

Got to move on, catch the next train

 and we'll be gone

And the rest of our lives we'll be free
