Quality Shoe - Mark Knopfler

You got your toecaps reinforced with steel 
Hard-wearing sole and heel 
Make those tired feet feel like new 
Take your pick, black or Brown 
Great for the country or the man in town 
You're gonna need a quality shoe 

You don't want no stand-by pair 
'Cos these'll take the wear and tear 
Made to take good care of you 
For that trip by road or rail 
For extra grip on those rocky trails 
You're gonna need a quality shoe 

Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing 
But I don't foresee too much of that 
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing 
Around in the moonlight 
With a cane and a top hat 

If you could use a change of pace 
And be excused from the rat race 
Just take a look at what's on view 
Lace 'em up, walk around 
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down 
You're gonna need a quality shoe 

Now I wish you sunny skies 
And happiness wherever you may go 
But you got to realise 
There'll be wind, there'll be rain 
And occasional snow 

You're gonna want to smile in them 
If you're gonna walk a mile in them 
There'll be times when you'll be blue 
To laugh at rainy days and then 
Make your getaways in them 
You're gonna need a quality shoe 

You got your toecaps reinforced with steel 
Hard-wearing sole and heel 
Make those tired feet feel like new 
Take your pick, black or Brown 
Great for the country or the man in town 
You're gonna need a quality shoe
