Lyrics
It's a sinister Highway, It's an evil road
When the bad luck hit you, it's a heavy load
They say it comes in three's but you done lost count
You broke the mirror, made the black cat growl
You're looking for something, some kinda sign
That your luck will be changin', for the good this time
But you better watch out boy, watch where you walk
When you're waiting for the other shoe to drop
Your truck broke down, you're stuck on the hill
You can't get down & you can't stay still
They say it comes in three's but you done lost count
You're under the ladder & you better watch out
You got salt on your shoulder, a rabbit foot in your ear
You think you got it covered, got nothing to fear
But you better watch out boy, or you might get stomped
When you're waiting for the other shoe to drop
You're in the bayou, you're in the swamp
You're alligator bait, you're the voodoo doll
They say it comes in three's but you done lost count
Your luck will be changin', ye of little doubt
So you're down on your knees, just to say a little prayer
You say "please lord please" as the lightning fills the air
But you better watch out boy or you might get shocked
When you're waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for the shoe to drop (4x)
