Red Shoes - from the Dumplin' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Lyrics

I remember as a child
 I was absolutely wild
 'Bout some red shoes that my aunt Lucy wore
 She would let me stomp around
 In those high heels up and down
 Round the house and round the wrap around porch
 And from that moment on
 I've had a pair of my own
 They make me feel at home and brand new
 They build my confidence
 As if they've been heaven sent
 I feel alone, I'm puttin' on my red shoes
 I begged mama, pretty please
 From the wishbook order me
 A pair of red shoes for my feet, so mama did
 Through the years I've thought about
 Aunt Lucy's love and think of how
 Such little things in life can make or break a kid
 I believe that every child
 Needs to feel a sense of pride
 And someone to love and guide and see them through
 So many miles I've traveled
 Many times they've come unraveled
 On the road both smooth or gravel
 But I've made it through, ooh
 Hell and half of Georgia
 Or walkin' through New Orleans
 Walked the streets of Memphis boldly
 Strolled around a block or two
 And if God sees fit to hold me
 Anyone that's ever known me
 Knows I'd walk the gold streets only
 In a pair of red shoes
 If I ever get to heaven
 If I ever get to heaven
 If I ever get to heaven
 And Lord I hope I do
 I will walk the streets of glory
 I will walk the streets of glory
 I will tell my Lucy story
 And walk with her in red shoes.
