Old laces on new shoes
hip flask in my pocket
long pull on a sad truth
got that listerine smile
honey don'ts honey dos
it ain't right right now and that's the honest truth

V2)
long face on a full moon
heart closed like a locket
ever since you done let loose
I got that nicotine smile
hiding out in your hi-heel shoes
lookin down from the mountain of an inch or two
old laces, old laces on new shoes
B)
why do my knees keep on knocking
electricity down the length of my spine
and it's crazy, things is changing all the time

(V3)
They say that you can't hold no groove
if you ain't got no pocket
the way I loved you was old school
thinking back to a time
when you was 23 or like 24
we was happy in love and about as raw
as some old laces, old laces on new shoes

(V4)
we had a band playin our tunes
you'd sing right out and it'd shock me
all the ways i could feel good
you been gone for a while
i left ya weak in the knees I'm getting long in the tooth
It ain't right right now honest truth
old laces old laces on new shoes

B)
look how my knees keep on knocking
electricity down the length of my spine
and it's crazy, things is changing all the time

(V5)
Old laces on new shoes
Good to get back to rocking
Must admit I still feels you
every once in a while
I left ya weak in the knees I'm getting long in the tooth
It ain't right right now honest truth
old laces old laces on new shoes
