Dirty White Kicks
Journey Through the Storm: Dirty White Kicks by Seth Dukes
Lyrics
Well, my car broke down clear across town, sittin on the side of the road
Car broke down across town, stranded on the road.
Yeah, it made a funny sound and the clutch went out
Funny sound and clutch failure, car starts smoking.
And the whole thing started to smoke
Overall car trouble in a difficult situation.
So I reached for my phone but it wouldn't turn on
Phone not working, unable to call for help.
Yeah I didn't know it wouldn't take a charge
Phone battery dead, unable to charge.
So I just started walking and the rain started falling
Walking in the rain as the car breaks down.
Comin down when I hadn't made it far
Caught in the rain without making much progress.
Well I hope you don't mind my dirty white kicks, babe
Expressing apology for dirty white sneakers due to walking.
I've been running through the woods, been cuttin' through the sticks babe
Describing running through woods and cutting through sticks.
I've been thinking bout your lovin been waitin on it all day
Awaiting and thinking about the partner's love all day.
Now I hope you don't mind my dirty white kicks babe
Reiterating the apology for dirty sneakers.
Well I made it to the corner store in the middle of the storm but the power was out
Making it to a store during a storm, but unable to enter.
I tried to get inside but the door was locked tight and there wasn't anybody around
Encountering difficulties with the locked store door.
Then a two-tone pickup pulled right up and I thought Hallelujah I'm saved
Hopeful moment as a pickup arrives, but it brings trouble.
Till a man I owe some money rolled the window down and said "Boy this ain't your day"
A man claiming money owed, indicating a bad turn of events.
Well I hope you don't mind my dirty white kicks, babe
Repeating the apology for dirty sneakers to the partner.
I've been running through the woods, been cuttin' through the sticks babe
Reiterating running through woods and facing challenges.
I've been thinking bout your lovin been waitin on it all day
Continuing to wait for the partner's love.
Now I hope you don't mind my dirty white kicks babe
Repeating the apology for dirty sneakers to the partner.
Well I made it to the old barn down by the river where I keep a little rainy-day fund
Reaching a barn by the river with personal belongings.
In a big coffee can on the shelf with my stash and my daddy's double-barrel shotgun
Noting the stash, including cash and a double-barrel shotgun.
I was reaching for the cash but the little bit I grabbed was wrapped in your love note, Honey
Finding a love note wrapped with the cash.
I hope you like your new shoes, they were way overdue
Mentioning the purchase of new shoes with partner's money.
And I hope you don't mind I used your money
Expressing the use of partner's money and hope for understanding.
Well I hope you don't mind my dirty white kicks, babe
Repeating the apology for dirty sneakers to the partner.
I've been running through the woods, been cuttin through the sticks babe
Reiterating running through woods and facing challenges.
I've been thinking bout your lovin been a waitin on it all day, hey hey hey
Continuing to wait for the partner's love with anticipation.
Now I hope you don't mind my dirty white kicks babe
Repeating the apology for dirty sneakers to the partner.
Now I hope you don't mind my dirty white kicks babe
Final plea for understanding regarding the dirty white kicks.
