The Other Shoe

The Other Shoe - Old 97's/Waylon Jennings (維隆·傑寧斯)

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

And 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

You've got your pride and a blue steel '45

And you're waiting for the other shoe to fall

You're waiting for the other shoe to fall

You'll dig a double grave out in the meadow

Curse the rain that turns the dirt to mud

Take 35 south towards Laredo

Try to find a doctor that 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

You've got your pride and a blue steel '45

And you're waiting for the other shoe to fall

You're waiting for the other shoe to fall

You're waiting for the other shoe to fall
