about

Recorded at The Chalet, Lake Gregory, California
We used really good mics.

lyrics

I like shoes, most guys do
Maybe won't admit it but they like shoes
And now I got the blues, what can I do
Hate to admit it but I'm not cool

I used to wear Vans, I used to wear Chucks
I used to wear Doc’s but I don't no more
I used to be an all-star, I used to be a punk
I used to be cool but I ain't no more oh yeah

Orthopedic lifts, Doctor Scholl's
Makes me feel like I'm a hundred years old
I had to give up all the kid stuff
Hate to admit it but my shoes suck

I used to wear Vans, I used to wear Chucks
I used to wear Doc’s but I don't no more
I used to be an all-star, I used to be a punk
I used to be cool but I ain't no more oh yeah

With arches falling down
It really hurts to walk around
Look at these sweet crocs I found
Somebody kill me now

I used to wear Vans, I used to wear Chucks
I used to wear Doc’s but I don't no more
I used to be an all-star, I used to be a punk
I used to be cool but I ain't no more oh yeah
Oh yeah... Oh yeah...
