Lyrics Red Shoes - from the Dumplin' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Dolly Parton

I remember as a child
I was absolutely wild
About some red shoes
that my Aunt Lucille 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 have had a pair of my own
But I'd make me feel at home
When brand new
They'd build my confidence
As if they'd been heaven sent
I'd 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 Luci'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 have made it through ooo
Haven? the Georgia
Or walking through New Orleans
Walked the streets of Memphis?
Drove around a block or two
And if God sees fit to own me
Anyone thats ever known me
Know I'd walk the golden streets only
in a pair of red shoes
And 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 Luci a story
And walk with her there in red shoes
