Thought of giving up songwriting all together, feeling sorry for myself, then I wrote this song and it changed my mind.
Lyrics
I’M TAKING OFF THESE RUBY SLIPPERS
I’VE GIVEN UP ON THE FAIRY TALE
I GAVE AWAY MY ROSE COLORED GLASSES
I MISSED THE BOAT
I DON’T KNOW WHERE THE SHIP IS
THAT’S WHY I’M TAKING OFF
THESE RUBY SLIPPERS
THE GOOD WITCH OF THE NORTH
WENT SOUTH FOR THE WINTER
LEFT ME HERE AND WOULDN’T TAKE ME WITH HER
I WANTED TO GO..
BUT I’M SURE GONNA MISS HER
WHEN I TAKE OFF THESE RUBY SLIPPERS
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW IS MY BACKYARD
I KNOW IT’S THERE
BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE SHOES ,
THEY NEVER TELL YOU
THEY CAN TAKE YOU HOME
BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO
CLICK YOUR HEELS SAY THE WORDS
IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE
TIL YOU TAKE OFF THOSE RUBY SLIPPERS
CALL ME A FOOL BUT I KNOW WHERE MY HOME IS
AND YOU CAN’T GET THERE FROM HERE
I CLICKED MY HEELS SAID THE WORDS
IT NEVER MADE A DIFFERENCE
TIL I TOOK OFF THOSE RUBY SLIPPERS
