Slide Machine

[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 them just the same [Chorus] Yeah tryin' to tryin' to tryin' to get back to you Tryin' to tryin' to tryin' to get back to you [Outro] I've been down south where they use the slide machine Where the gods are overheard 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
