Let It Slide lyrics
Song information
Artist: Edwin Mccain Album: The Austin Sessions
Lyrics
Dreary memphis city night
Dark like a kennedy's veil Shaky like them motorcycle lights Leading all them angels at hell I gave out my very last dime Laid out the bartenders all in a line We weren't fighting, we just drank 'em out of time Down at printer's alley
[Chorus]
So let the poets be poets and the cops just give us a ride We ain't worried about your hands of time Just let it slide And let it slide
You know elvis said only two things were certain hookers and coupe devilles Messing with that old boy down at the pool hall surely get your young ass Killed I'm too tired for fighting I'd rather wear myself out with a smile We'll stay up with some good bar stores Beat up time for a while
[Chorus]
So let the poets be poets and the cops just give us a ride We ain't worried about your hands of time Just let it slide And let it slide
Oh you know it's nights like these I get down on my knees And pray the lord the sun won't shine 'Till I'm done having my big time
[Chorus]
So let the poets be poets and the cops just give us a ride We ain't worried about your hands of time Just let it slide And let it slide
