The Other Shoe lyrics

Artist  : Old 97`s 
Song : The Other Shoe



 Send "The Other Shoe" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
One old brown shoe falls in slow motion, 
And the bedsprings hover right above your head, 
As bed springs do, when you`re beneath them. 
Someone else just climbed into your bed. 

By the time she thought you`d probably got to
Phoenix, 
She`d arranged for your shoes to be filled. 
Well you`ve got your pride, and a blue-steel `45,

And you`re waiting for the other shoe to fall. 

You`ll dig a double grave out in the meadow, 
And you`ll curse the rain that turns the dirt to
mud. 
You`ll take I-35 south towards Laredo, 
Then you`ll try to find a doctor who can
prescribe an elixir 
That`ll make everything better, except your late
wife and her lover. 

By the time she thought you`d probably got to
Phoenix, 
She`d sealed her fate and gotten herself killed. 
Well you`ve got your pride, and a blue-steel `45,

And you`re waiting for the other shoe to fall.
