Baby Needs New Shoes - Dave Barnes

We don’t need no trouble

Forgive her if she comes off mean

You can tell by these masks and guns we can rob you clean

(Sorry bout that)

We gotta a kid in the car and money don’t grow on trees

Though this gun ain’t even loaded

Put your hands where my eyes can’t see

Sometimes you got to do what you got to do

Sometimes you gotta bend a couple golden rules

Scheming ain’t dreaming but beggers can’t afford to choose

And baby needs new shoes

Baby needs aha, baby needs aha

Baby needs aha, baby needs new shoes

This getaway wagon has a stroller in the way back seat

Baby on board gives away our family

Yes it does

Remember why we’re doin what we’re doin when you feel real bad

It was either this or taking money from your mom and dad

(… that little girl)

Sometimes you got to do what you got to do

Sometimes you gotta bend a couple golden rules

Scheming ain’t dreaming but beggers can’t afford to choose

And baby needs new shoes

Baby needs aha, baby needs aha

Baby needs aha, baby needs new shoes

Take back the money in the morning

Yea, I swear I was only gonna borrow

Lord knows we’ve all been left a time or two

Ain’t that true?

You got to do what you got to do

Sometimes you gotta bend a couple golden rules

Scheming ain’t dreaming

Dreaming never got us through

You got to do what you got to do

Sometimes you gotta bend a couple golden rules

Scheming ain’t dreaming but beggers can’t afford to choose

And baby needs new shoes

Baby needs aha, baby needs aha

These new shoes

Baby needs aha, baby needs aha

Sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do

Well, I’m sorry bout that

But I needed some cash

You can’t blame us for trying, no no

And baby needs new shoes
