The Other Shoe |
| 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 |
