Slippin’ and Slidin’ Songtext
von Justin Townes Earle

I shoulda learned better,
I′m old enough to know.
Slippin' and slidin′, feelin' low.

Yeah it's a sit back at best,
A shame for sure, babe.
Slipping and slidin′, feelin′ low.

Now I'm waking up feelin′ bad again.
I'm losing patience with my only friend.
Why do I try my luck?
I should never touch the stuff,


But it′s shouldn't make any difference mama,
As long as I keep up appearances, Lord.

I′ve been workin' too hard,
I need some time at home,
Slippin' and slidin′, and feelin′ low.

Darling I just need a little comfortin',
I ain′t seen the sunrise since I don't know when.
Days getting longer, nights getting cold.
Slippin′ and slidin', feelin′ low.
I'm a slippin' and slidin′, peekin′ and hidin',
I′m slippin' and slidin′, feelin' low.
