I  took my lucky  break and I broke  it in two
 Put on my worried  shoes
 My worried  shoes
And  my shoes took me so  many miles and they never  wore out
 My worried  shoes
 My worried  shoes
oo  oo oo oo  oo oo oo oo oo oo
My  worried  shoes
 REPEAT
 I made a mistake and I never forgot
 I tied knots in the laces of
 My worried shoes
 And with every step that I'd take I'd remember my mistake
 As I marched further and further away
 In my worried shoes
 oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
 My worried shoes
 And my shoes took me down a crooked path
 Away from all welcome mats
 My worried shoes
 And then one day I looked around and I found the sun shining down
 And I took off my worried shoes
 My worried shoes
 And the feet broke free to breathe the air
 I didn't need to wear
 My Worried shoes
 Then I knew the difference between
 worrying and caring
 'Cause I've got a lot of walking to do
 And I don't want to wear
 My worried shoes
