Blue Suede Shoes
Johnny Hallyday · Tour 66 [2009]
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
You can knock me down, step on my face
Slam my name all over the place
Do anything that you're going to do
But uh uh honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
Well you burned my house stealed my car
Drinked my liquor from an old fruit pig
Do anything that hou wanna do
But oh honey lay off of my blue suede shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes
It's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go go go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
Well blue, blue, blue suede shoes, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
