The Old Man's Shoes - Janis Ian

People trying to mess with my security

Nobody knows what you really mean to me

I got angels to the right and to the left of me

Ain’t gonna stagger home no more

It’s apparent from the night that you’ve been dreaming too

You need a warrant for the right to be scheming like you do

There ought to be a law against falling for you

Who’s gonna play surrender now

I said thank you a lot for your big mountain top

But it ain’t gonna worry me no more

Do what you will if it gives you a thrill

Take what you can when you can can, my man

Take it on the lam, Sam

Don’t look back, man

At the sand in the old man’s shoes

Me and Roberta we’re gonna get real clean

Put on our high heeled shoes and make the scene

Dance until the music and the lights turn green

Stay until the moon gets new

Roberta she looks just like a foreign movie star

She like for you to push, but don’t push too far

Anyway where’s the rush, why do you wanna be so hard

Who’s gonna play pretender now
