The Boot is on the Other Foot

from Somethin' Else by Wild Earp & The Free for Alls

/

lyrics

Well I'll tell you a story about a gallivantin’ man
Who leaves his girl at home every single night
To raise as much hell as he can.
But one day she go missing
Ain't nowhere to be found
And his buddy calls him up and says,
“Man, you best come look, your wife's out here just paintin' up the town.”
And when he finally caught up she said,
”Boy, I'll tell you what: The boot is on the other foot.”

Well, I'll tell you another story about a friend of mine
Who started off at the bottom of the ladder and then he started to climb,
But his boss didn't like him, and so he gave him the boot.
But the very next day he played the lotto, his number hit and he won all of the loot.
He made the owner an offer he couldn't refuse,
Called his old boss into his office and he gave him the news,
Put his feet up on the desk and said,
"Man, I'll tell you what: The boot is on the other foot”

Like a teacher in night school,
Like a cop in jail,
Like a rich man digging through the garbage pail.

Well, well, well!

If there's one thing I can tell you
If there's one thing that I know
You can never be certain in this lifetime, which way your luck’s gonna go.
So if you wanna keep your shoes on, and know which one is which,
Then be good to each other, cause that karma can be quite the bitch.
And some sunny morning you may just wake up
With the boot on the other foot.
