Blue Suede Shoes

Ry Cooder


Well, it's one for the money, two for the show 
Three to get ready and it's go man go 
You can do anything that you want to do 
But uh-huh honey, lay off of my shoes 
And don't you step on my shoes 
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes 
You can do anything that you want to do 
But uh-uh honey stay off of my shoes 
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes 

You can burn my house, steal my car 
And drink my liquor out of my fruit jar 
You can do anything that you want to do 
But uh-uh honey stay off of my shoes 

And don't you step on my shoes 
Don't step on my blue suede shoes 
You can do anything that you want to do 
But uh-uh honey stay off of my shoes 
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes 

Well, it's down on Beale Street late one night 
A woman got mad and started a fight 
Split my chin and bust my nose 
Tore out the back of my best suit of clothes 

I said, ";Knock me down, step in my face 
Slander my name all over the place 
Do anything that you want to do 
But uh-uh honey stay off of my shoes"; 

And don't you step on my shoes 
Don't step on my blue suede shoes 
You can do anything that you want to do 
But uh-uh honey stay off of my shoes 
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
