Slippin’ and Sliddin’ 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 company
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
