The Other Shoe lyrics
Song information
Artist: Old 97's Album: Wreck Your Life
Lyrics
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
