"Shoe To Drop"

[Intro:]
Sammy had a little hand-me-down mansion
Matty never had a silver spoon
Caught fire at a party in the canyon
Underneath the moon

Sammy's thinking that the sky is gonna fall down
Matty's never been scared to death
Sammy hits the panic button, Matty says, "calm down
Baby, stop and take a breath like, Ooo, Ooo

[Chorus:]
Life is rain, ain't that funny?
You get sad, I'll get sunny
Honey, go and wring your hands
'Cause as long as I'm not
I'll be two-stepping
While you're waiting on the other shoe to drop!"

A year later Sammy planned a little picnic
The tell-your-kids-about-it-someday kind
Pulled out a ring and said, "Matty, what ya
Doin' for the rest of your life?"
Matty said, "I don't got a lot to offer
Just depression and student debt..."
Sammy laughed and said, "Baby, let me stop ya
Like you said, just take a breath like, Ooo, Ooo

[Chorus:]
Life is rain, ain't that funny?
You get sad, I'll get sunny
Honey, go and wring your hands
'Cause as long as I'm not
I'll be two-stepping
While you're waiting on the other shoe to drop!"

[Bridge:]
I'm your glass-half-empty, you're my we've-got-plenty
We're not easy and we're not pretending to be
When I'm spinning out, you're breathing in and out
When worry's winning out I'll say to you, Ooo Ooo

[Outro:]
Life is rain, ain't that funny?
You get sad, I'll get sunny
Honey, go and wring your hands
'Cause as long as I'm not
I'll be two-stepping, getting wet
'Cause you can bet that
Life is hard, life is heavy
Don't we know that already?
Honey go and wring your hands 'cause as long as I'm not
I'll be two-stepping
While you're waiting on the other shoe...
