Waiting On The Other Shoe To Fall Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

When I was a young man I busted my jeans hopping a freight down to New Orleans 

Worked on the oil rigs and played in the bars but nothing ever killed me so far 

Now I'm waitin' on the other shoe to fall and right now you're walking out on me 

I can hear your footsteps going down the hall 

And I am waitin' on the other shoe to fall 

[Fiddle] 

Well I joined the army and I did my time they sent me right up to the front lines 

People were shoutin' and shootin' at me but I had to keep America free 

Now I'm waitin' on the other shoe to fall... 

[Dobro] 

I've been to California and I've been to New York 

And all in between I had beans on my fork 

Clothes on my back and a song on my mind but I've never met a woman like your kind 

Now I'm waitin' on the other shoe to fall... 

[Fiddle]

Well right down the street there's an old boardin' house 

You better be careful bout throwin' me out 

When she hears my footsteps comin' up their stairs she's gonna start combing her hair 

She's a waitin' on the other shoe to fall right now you're walking out on me 

I can hear your footsteps going down the hall 

And she is waitin' on the other shoe to fall
