Mark Knopfler - Quality Shoe (Remastered 2021)

You got your toe caps reinforced with steel Hard-wearing sole and heel Make those tired feet feel like new Take your pick, black or brown Great for the country or the man in town You're gonna need a quality shoe You don't want no standby pair These will take the wear and tear Made to take good care of you For that trip by road or rail For extra grip on those rocky trails You're gonna need a quality shoe Now they maybe ain't too hard for dancing But I don't foresee too much of that You ain't exactly gonna be prancing around In the moonlight with a cane and a top hat If you could use a change of pace And be excused from the rat race Just take a look at what's on view Lace 'em up, walk around I guarantee you can't wear them down You're gonna need a quality shoe Now I wish you sunny skies Happiness wherever you may go But you've got to realize There'll be wind, there'll be rain and occasional snow You're gonna want to smile in them If you're gonna walk a mile in them There'll be times when you'll be blue To laugh at rainy days and then Make your getaways and then You're gonna need You're gonna need You're gonna need a quality shoe You got your toe caps reinforced with steel Hard-wearing sole and heel Make those tired feet feel like new Take your pick, black or brown Great for the country or the man in town You're gonna need a quality shoe
