Diamond Shoes

Tift Merritt

Don't you know that the angels, in some wild and secret heart,
Doubt for those who get the wrong things and those who want to get caught.
You don't have to doubt no more. You don't have to count on crying.
No one can win a heart like yours, but damned if he ain't trying.

Put on your diamond shoes,
Put on your diamond shoes,
The ones you talk about, that sine brand new.
The ones you have no place to wear, sure you'll never use,
The ones you look so pretty in
Go put on your diamond shoes.

There is no rain that comes down you don't carry in your hand
For whoever gets the wrong things right since no one understand.
There is no flower I know deserving of your hair.
But damned if he don't come every night to try to pin one there.

Put on your diamond shoes,
Put on your diamond shoes,
The ones you forgot about, the ones you're scared to use.
You don't have to doubt no more, they'll always shine like new,
You'll look so pretty walking in your diamond shoes.

Where the road was wet and rough, you kicked and swore them off.
Now it's getting on time they were back swinging at your side.

Put on your diamond shoes,
Put on your diamond shoes,
You'll look so pretty walking in your diamond shoes.
