Verse 1
One old brown shoe falls in slow motion
And bedsprings hover right above your head
As bedsprings do when you're beneath them
Someone else just climbed into your bed
Chorus
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 waitin' for the other shoe to fall
Yeah, you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall
Verse 2
N.C. C F
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'll try to find a doctor
Who can prescribe an elixir
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
Well, you've got your pride, and a blue steel .45
And you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall
Yeah, you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall
Yeah, you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall
