Waiting On The Other Shoe To Fall |
| When I was a young man I busted my jeans hopping a freight down to New Orleans |
| Worked on the oil rigs and played in the bars but nothing ever killed me so far |
| Now I’m waitin' on the other shoe to fall and right now you’re walking out on me |
| I can hear your footsteps going down the hall |
| And I am waitin' on the other shoe to fall |
| (fiddle) |
| Well I joined the army and I did my time they sent me right up to the front |
| lines |
| People were shoutin' and shootin' at me but I had to keep America free |
| Now I’m waitin' on the other shoe to fall… |
| (dobro) |
| I’ve been to California and I’ve been to New York |
| And all in between I had beans on my fork |
| Clothes on my back and a song on my mind but I’ve never met a woman like your |
| kind |
| Now I’m waitin' on the other shoe to fall… |
| (fiddle) |
| Well right down the street there’s an old boardin' house |
| You better be careful bout throwin' me out |
| When she hears my footsteps comin' up their stairs she’s gonna start combing |
| her hair |
| She’s a waitin' on the other shoe to fall right now you’re walking out on me |
| I can hear your footsteps going down the hall |
| And she is waitin' on the other shoe to fall |
