Red Shoes - from the "Dumplin'" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

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
