Standard (EADGBE)

 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

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
