Other Shoe

The Old 97's

>From the album Wreck Your Life

Attempted transcription by Joe Wachtel

One old brown shoe falls in slow motion

And bedsprings hover right above your head

As bedsprings do when your beneath them

Someone else just climbed into your bed

By the time she tought 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 your waitin for the other shoe to fall

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

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

That's it. Great album if your into insurgent country or no dpression

or whatever.
