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
