[Intro] |
|
I've been down south where they use the slide machine |
|
Where the gods of old are heard but seldom seen |
|
And here I been just stuck up in between |
|
Yeah, trying, trying, trying to get back to you |
|
Yeah I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to get back to you |
|
[Verse 1] |
|
Well the slide machine, it sweeps the bones right off the road |
|
For the tandem trucks and the moats that they tow |
|
And me I've just been looking for one going slow |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I'm trying, I'm trying, trying to get back to you |
|
And I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to get back to you |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
My woman here, she's got a dozen names |
|
She's sought by soldiers and they try to keep her tame |
|
And her rewards will leave then just the same |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Outro] |
|
I've been down south where they use the slide machine |
|
Where the gods of cold are heard but seldom seen |
|
And here I been just stuck up in between |
|
Yeah, trying, trying, trying to get back to you |
|
Yeah I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to get back to you |
