Charles M. Moore - Shuffling with my shoes

I've been looking for some time
I've been searching for some sign
walking down a lonely line
shuffling with my shoes

The grass is green along the road
the birds are singing songs they know
but I just wander as I go
shuffling with my shoes

People ignore me
they don't want to know me
a dirty old bum
with a bottle of rum
shuffling with my shoes

I may sleep in ditches
but I've got my riches
as I gaze at the stars
the moon and mars
shuffling with my shoes

The sun hits the horizon
my life ain't surprising
the older I get
the less I regret
shuffling with my shoes

Tomorrow's a new day
once again I'll be on my way
at break of dawn
I'll just soldier on
shuffling with my shoes.

Charles M. Moore
