|
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 |
|
PhoenixShe'd arranged for your shoes to be filled |
|
Well, you've got your pride and a blue-steel '45 |
|
Waited for the other shoe to fall |
|
And you waited for the other shoe to fall |
|
Dig a double grave out in the meadow |
|
And you'll curse the rain that turns the dirt to mud |
|
You'll take 35 south towards |
|
LaredoAnd you'll try to find a doctor that'll 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 |
|
PhoenixShe'd sealed her fate and gotten herself killed |
|
You've got your pride and a blue-steel '45 |
|
Waited for the other shoe to fall |
|
And you waited for the other shoe to fall |
|
And you waited for the other shoe to fall |
