Flyin' Shoes Lyrics

Days full of rain
Skys comin down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby, it wont be long
fore I be tyin on
My flyin shoes
Flyin shoes
Till I be tyin on
My flyin shoes

Spring only sighed
Summer had to be satisfied
Fall is a feelin that I just cant lose.
Id like to stay
Maybe watch a winter day
Turn the green water
To white and blue
Flyin shoes
Flyin shoes
Till I be tyin on
My flyin shoes

The mountain moon
Forever sets too soon
Bein alone is all the hills can do
Alone and then
Her silver sails again
And they will follow
In their flyin shoes
Flyin shoes
They will follow in their
Flyin shoes

Days full of rain
Skys comin down again
I get so tired
Of the same old blues
Same old song
Baby, it wont be long
Till I be tyin on
My flyin shoes
Flyin shoes
Till I be tyin on
My flyin shoes

Cover art for Flyin' Shoes lyrics by Townes Van Zandt

The song is about realizing ones fate and preparing for it. In this story it's a grim fate. Tying on the flyin' shoes is a clear reference to dying - taking the one last big trip. The storyteller would like to stay but he seems to have no choice. It's a very beautiful and yet at the same time completely hopeless song.
