Dr. Shine Lyrics - Diamond Days - Eric Bibb

Walkin' through the airport one day, in Columbus, Ohio 

Dr. Shine called out to me, 

"Man, you're a king, not a hobo! 

You got the time, I got the wax. Cost you $5, no sales tax 

Buddy, let me shine them shoes 

You got a smile like a millionaire, but them shoes make you look like a tramp 

When Dr. Shine gets through with that leather, you'll be steppin' like a champ 

Read the paper, take a snooze, talk about baseball, whatever you choose, but buddy let me shine them shoes 

My Daddy's father was French 

That's the Creole look in my eyes 

Been shinin' shoes all my life, makin' good money, too 

You'd be surprised 

I can toss the brush from hand to hand just as good, if not better, than any living man 

Buddy, I can shine some shoes

You won't forget this lucky day 

It's gonna go down in history 

You play guitar, I see 

Might write a song about me 

Photos 

I'm gonna make these shoes shine like a mirror 

Everything in your world's gonna look a little clearer 

Take my card, here's where I'll be 

Tell your friends they can see about me 

Buddy, I can shine some shoes"
