[Verse 1]
My boots walked in, toe tips down
Heel gone thin on the old west side
You looked at me like you knew the road
Said, "We can bring that pair back to life"
Needle in the leather, glue on the seam
You work that magic by the light
[Pre-Chorus]
In Baileys Arcade, I found my place
Seen that sign my whole damn life
Fifty-three years of honest hands
Keeping folks on their feet all right
[Chorus]
Civic Shoes Canberra
Civic Shoes Canberra
Hand made, hand made
Shoes that hold you steady
Civic Shoes Canberra
Civic Shoes Canberra
Quality repairs
And a fit that feels ready
[Verse 2]
Bought me a pair with a polished shine
Stitched so clean it made me grin
Smelled like leather, felt like home
Like somebody cared from the toe to the trim
If the sole runs out or the stitch comes loose
You don't throw good shoes away
[Pre-Chorus]
In Baileys Arcade, I found my place
Seen that sign my whole damn life
Fifty-three years of honest hands
Keeping folks on their feet all right
[Chorus]
Civic Shoes Canberra
Civic Shoes Canberra
Hand made, hand made
Shoes that hold you steady
Civic Shoes Canberra
Civic Shoes Canberra
Quality repairs
And a fit that feels ready
[Bridge]
From the capital streets to the market floor
You've been there when the rain came down
Old faithful pair, new lease on life
Best damn shop in town
[Final Chorus]
Civic Shoes Canberra
Civic Shoes Canberra
Hand made, hand made
Shoes that hold you steady
Civic Shoes Canberra
Civic Shoes Canberra
Buy your shoes right here
At the heart of the city
