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 cryin'

No one can win a heart like yours

But damned if he ain’t tryin'

Put on your diamond shoes

Put on your diamond shoes

The ones you talk about

That shine like brand new

The ones you’ve 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 comes down

You don’t carry in your hand

For whoever gets the wrong things right

Since no one understands

There is no flower I know

Deserving of your hair

But damned if he don’t come every night

Trying to pin one there

Put on your diamond shoes

Put on your diamond shoes

The ones you talk 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

Walkin' in your diamond shoes

Where the road was wet and rough

You kicked and swore them off

Now it’s gettin' on time

They were back swingin' at your side

Put on your diamond shoes

Put on your diamond shoes

You’ll look so pretty

Walkin' in your diamond shoes
