Mark Knopfler - Quality Shoe

You got your toecaps 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
Youre gonna need a quality shoe

You dont want no stand-by pair
Cos thesell 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
Youre gonna need a quality shoe

Now they maybe aint too hot for dancing
But I dont foresee too much of that
You aint 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 whats on view
Lace em up, walk around
I guarantee you cant wear em down
Youre gonna need a quality shoe

Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
Therell be wind, therell be rain
And occasional snow
Youre gonna want to smile in them
If youre gonna walk a mile in them

Therell be times when youll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
Youre gonna need a quality shoe

You got your toecaps 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
Youre gonna need a quality shoe
