Lyrics
I stood at the crossroads wondering
I faced a crucial decision point, uncertain about the path to take
Wondering which way to choose
Contemplating and trying to decide which direction to go
What the hell if I step like a pony
Expressing a carefree attitude, not worrying about consequences
I got brand new travelling shoes
Feeling confident with a new pair of shoes for the journey
Travelling bag, travelling suit
Packing essentials for travel, dressed appropriately
Walking away the blues
Walking away from troubles and sadness
Don't weep like a stone on my pillow
Discouraging tears, signaling a departure from emotional pain
I got brand new travelling shoes
Reiterating confidence with the new traveling shoes
And I got them from a jazzman
Obtained the shoes from a jazz musician
He said 'Man, the looks all wrong'
Comments on the unconventional appearance of the shoes
He put them down, I picked them up
The jazzman discarded the shoes, and the speaker picked them up
And danced off with them on
Celebrating by dancing with the acquired shoes
Yes I got them from a jazzman
Repeating the acquisition of shoes from the jazzman
He said 'Man, the looks all wrong'
Reiterating the jazzman's comment on the shoes' appearance
He put them down, I picked them up
The jazzman discarded the shoes again, and the speaker reclaimed them
And danced off with them on
Continuing the joyous dance with the reclaimed shoes
When life's a busted trombone
Metaphorically describing life as a broken musical instrument
Leaves you crying on a pew
Experiencing sadness and seeking solace in a place of worship
Remember the good lord gave us
Recalling the comforting gift of new traveling shoes from the Lord
Brand new travelling shoes
Emphasizing the divine blessing of the new shoes
Travelling bag, travelling suit
Reiterating the preparedness for travel with bag and suit
Walking away the blues
Continuing to move forward, leaving behind emotional troubles
Don't weep like a stone on my pillow
Requesting not to cry, signaling resilience and strength
I got brand new travelling shoes
Expressing confidence and joy with the new traveling shoes
And I got them from a jazzman
Repeating the acquisition of shoes from the jazzman
He said 'Man, the looks all wrong'
Reiterating the jazzman's comment on the shoes' appearance
He put them down, I picked them up
The jazzman once again discards the shoes, and the speaker takes them
And danced off with them on
Resuming the joyful dance with the acquired shoes
Yes I got them from a jazzman
Repeating the source of the shoes and the jazzman's comment
He said 'Man, the looks all wrong'
Reiterating the jazzman's comment on the shoes' appearance
He put them down, I picked them up
The jazzman discards the shoes again, and the speaker reclaims them
And danced off with them on
Continuing the joyous dance with the reclaimed shoes
I stood at the crossroads wondering
Returning to the crossroads, still pondering the choice of direction
Wondering which way to choose
Repeating the contemplation of choosing a path
What the hell if I step like a pony
Reiterating the carefree attitude, comparing to stepping like a pony
I got brand new travelling shoes
Ending with confidence and joy in the new traveling shoes
