Two songs with inference of shoes - Take the Shine off Your Shoes and Scrap The Shit off your shoes - I wonder if Keith wrote Let It Loose and MJ wrote Sweet Virginia. MJ says LIL was an odd lyric and said Keith wrote it and vice a versa .
Anyway the lyrics on exile are some of the best in rock history. The the other hand Mick said he was running out of lyric ideas and could of repeated himself with the shoe reference twice. Casino Boogie was written with cut out words all scrambled together and pieced into the song.

I think the Exile lyrics are some of the finest Jagger has ever written. It's great they are all one big dusty, bluesy mess. Certain styles and turns of phrase should show up maybe once or twice.
There's something vagabond-y and train track-y, hung-over and pining for that love about the whole album.
One revealing tale is when Jagger told about the 'Tumbling Dice' lyrics;where he was talking to an elder black woman (was she cooking for them?) about gambling. And he just let her rip. While he was furiously scribbling down all these priceless phrases.
I agree to freaks on the album cover MJ soaked up those lyrical pharses throughout the record capturing the stones at that point as exiles in France and LA.

It’s the prototypical “fan’s” album. With only one hit amongst its 18 tracks most casual listeners go “huh?” It’s an entire record of “deep tracks”!
