The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

I Saw Your Shoes Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
I saw your shoes by the kitchen door
and I knew I missed you
I saw your shoes by the front door
and I began to miss you more
I saw your shoes on the landing
and lord I knew I cared
I saw your shoes pretty baby
and I longed to have you there.
I saw your shoes by the record player
and I wished you'd call me
I saw your shoes by the tv set
I prayed you'd call
I saw your shoes by the couch
and I longed to feel your touch, babe
I saw your shoes pretty baby
and I had to have you there.
I see your shoes by the shower stall
and I begin to wondering
I see your shoes by the bedroom door
and my hearts starts pounding.
I see your shoes at the foot of the bed
and I start laughing
I see your shoes, pretty baby,
but most of all I see you.
