High Heel Shoes
Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young
on a Friday night
A lot of things happenin',
a lot of bright lights.
Saw a pretty woman
all dressed in red
She turned to me
and this is what she said
She said, Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.
Well, she took me to the corner
that she called her home
Turned around
and we were all alone.
Come on in, she said with a smile
Come on in and we can rest a while.
Well, Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.
I said, Listen here,
honey, I been around
You ain't foolin' me, 'cause
I know what you've found.
She bent kinda low and then
she tickled my lips.
She said, Listen here, son,
I'm gonna give you a tip
Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.
High Heel Shoes
Neil Young's "High Heel Shoes" stands as a poignant song in his extensive discography, reflecting the introspective and often melancholic tone characteristic of his solo work. Recorded during a period where Young frequently explored themes of personal struggle and societal observation, the track exemplifies his signature blend of acoustic guitar and raw vocal delivery. While the song lacks a specific album title in public records, it aligns with his broader catalog of late-career recordings that prioritize lyrical depth over commercial packaging. The piece captures the essence of Young's ability to distill complex emotional states into concise musical statements, resonating with listeners who appreciate his unvarnished approach to songwriting and his enduring influence on alternative rock and folk genres.
