No Shoe Strings On Louise

Song byElton John
in AlbumElton John

Lady love rides a big red Cadillac

Buys the hoedown show salt and beans

Goes to church to pray for Lucifer

She milked the male population clean

So ride in line shake yourself by the hand

Live your life inside a paper can

But you'll never get to pick and choose

She's bought you and sold you

There ain't no shoestrings on Louise

Come on down, come on down from the ladder

Henry get your head, get your head out of them clouds

What she wants is to go kissing on a swine herd

You might as well kiss the boss man's cow

All those city women want to make us poor men

And this land's got the worse for the worrying

I got married at the early age of fourteen

And I've been worrying about the way you'll be loving them

About this Song

No Shoe Strings On Louise by Elton John is a lively rock tune that blends elements of blues and country. The song is about a free-spirited woman named Louise who lives life on her own terms without being tied down by societal expectations or commitments - hence, 'no shoe strings.' It emphasizes themes of independence, rebellion, and the unconventional lifestyle. A particularly poignant moment in the song is when the singer admires Louise's ability to live freely and perhaps envies her carefree nature. The title itself metaphorically suggests living without restraints or limitations.
