The Slide
floyd and I (Bud) wrote the lyric while floyd alone developed the melody, chord progression and arrangement. As always floyd took what I thought was a decent idea and transformed it into IMO a fine song. Thanks!
Peter joined in with an intro lead and fills. He sent us a cornucopia of riches to choose from Thanks!
OK, it’s not about the “current situation(s);” rather, it’s a broken relationship tune told by a lady - perhaps a little twist on the old theme.
Your time to listen and comment is always appreciated.
Thanks. Be safe.

i know i should have drawn the line
a drink or two before closing time
but inviting looks washed in neon
were more than enough to lead me on
a slippery slope a wayward path
so i was bound to face an angel's wrath
my demons determined to drive me mad
betraying you and all we had
so many years out on the edge
i’m still crawling through my wreckage
always hoping you'll be on the other side
and desperately hoping to stop the slide
a few hours with a stranger erased
a love that I can never replace
a fool opens dangerous doors
forgiveness has its limits, you reached yours
so many years out on the edge
i’m still crawling through my wreckage
always hoping you'll be on the other side
and desperately hoping to stop the slide
callin', callin'
fallin', fallin'
so many years out on the edge
I’m still crawling through my wreckage
always hoping you'll be on the other side
and desperately hoping to stop the slide
i know i should have drawn the line
a drink or two before closing time...
