Townes Van Zandt - Flyin' Shoes (Official Audio)

"Flyin' Shoes" from Townes Van Zandt's album Flyin' Shoes (Official Audio)

Lyrics:
Days full of rain
Sky's comin' down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby, it won't 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 can't lose

I'd 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

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
Sky's comin' down again
I get so tired
Of the same old blues
Same old song

Baby, it won't be long
Till I be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes
Flyin' shoes
Till I be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes

Thanks, bro. I'm right behind you.

[philippelavachery]

One of the most beautiful songs I ever heard. Period.

[lennyhakulin]

Every stitch in this massive sail of a tune, the opening harmonica wail and piano...
The minimal drumming, the little Mexican licks....pedal steel pulling you through the swinging doors.
And Towne's broken and aching heart calling for your ear, his gentle guitar.
And now, only one tear that ran so slowly, still; as I tap the tiny keys and why...
That one alone, as I finish nearly dry. 🎼🎵🎶🎸💔🔥🔥

Brings tears to my eyes everytime. My dad introduced me to him with Pancho and Lefty. Kurt Vile introduced this album to me on his appearance on Whats in My Bag with Courtney Barnett. This song makes me feel emotional and I play it when im in need of a cry. It has literally helped me in ways words cannot do justice.

This past year has been rough as I went through my first major loss. Nothing can prepare you for that. It made me question everything in my life including music. I now hold the songs that mean a lot to me very close. Flyin Shoes is one of those songs. In Fact I purchased the whole album.

Townes was a genius for sure, both intellectually and musically. the proof is everywhere in the world

[patriciathewisher]

So glad I got to go see Townes in London. I think it was a year or so before he died. He was so great. And he was fuckin hilarious with his stories.

[willyvlyminck]

I post his music on my FB wall oft as it is a shame his music remains fairly unwell known.

❤ Townes venne in italia, Pesina (Garda) e ... l'ho abbracciato!❤

[ozaycolak]

Yesterday first time I heard this song at my workplace David People's Cafeteria so then after I searched with my apply shaazaam I found it wooaw really great song bro like is western USA music 👍🏻

[triplucid]

I just said this a moment ago and I figure I might as well share it again that I'd be full of it if id try to say different ...
that he is one of the greatest people I've ever listened to among tens of thousands of songs, and many songwriters.

[rudigerschmitz]

Always special emotional to listen to.

[Valenciano]

TVZ will always be the best songwriter of all times!

[tom-bksm]

Well said bucketbullshitblues, I'm right there with you my unknown friend

[the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"I feel useless enough to be useless to you." , dan'

[Xek-imnp]

Listen to Zach Bryan if you like Townes. This song especially reminds me of flyin or cryin by Zach and the other way around. Twins of each other one faster one slower but with a very similar feeling

[shatchett]

This dude was biggest whiner going. But there’s an audience for it I guess.
