The Cheap Shoes

Lyrics: SCARECROW Music: SCARECROW walking three stops to save two cents rubber on my soles is getting thin stomach is growling for a bowl of meat but the dream is cold on the empty street checking the pockets for a copper coin trying to find a way to join dreaming big but the wallet is small leaning my back against the brick wall did i win no i lost counting the silver counting the cost is the dream worth a bowl of rice paying the rent with a heavy price heavy price paying the rent with a heavy price light bill is sitting on the wooden floor darkness is knocking at the front door walking in the rain to save the fare fingers are cold in the winter air bought the hope but the box is bare shadow is the only thing i wear dreaming of gold while i count the bread wishing i was in my bed instead did i win no i lost counting the silver counting the cost is the dream worth a bowl of rice paying the rent with a heavy price heavy price paying the rent with a heavy price stop at the corner look at the light dreaming is expensive in the middle of the night one more mile ten more cents counting the cost heavy price counting the cost
