One old brown shoe falls in slow motion
Am F G
And bedsprings hover right above your head
C F
As bedsprings do when your beneath them
Am F G
Someone else just climbed into your bed
F C C7
By the time she tought you'd probably got to Phoenix
F G G7
She'd arranged for your shoes to be filled
Am Em Dm F
You've got your pride, and a blue steel .45
Dm F C C7
And your waitin for the other shoe to fall
Dm F C
Yeah your waitin for , the other shoe to fall
Verse 2
You dig a double grave out in the meadow
And you curse the rain that turns the dirt to mud
You take 35 south towards Laredo
And you try to find a doctor
That'll prescribe an elixor
That'll make everything better
Except your late wife and her lover
Chorus
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 your waiting for the other shoe to fall
Yeah your waiting for the other shoe to fall
