Slip Back - The Marcus King Band

Said the moon was out So was I, now that you left me darlin' Had my heart on my sleeve And my mind wanted you to believe You still needed me to be there for you Let it go now, gotta let it go Can't walk around with this pain on my chest Just leave me alone Don't call my phone Don't come by my house Don't write me no letters Just leave me alone Don't call my phone Don't come by my house Don't write me no letters Cause you left me for Opie You left me for Opie Always been your shoulder to cry on Lord when things ain't going right But the moment that I need you, baby Tell me to get on with my life Just leave me alone Don't call my phone Don't come by my house Don't write me no letters Cause you left me for Opie You left me for Opie You left me for Opie Baby, you don't understand The pain that you're causing your man I forgot you long ago But you need to mend my soul

Don't keep my boots by the door no more There's nowhere I need to be that fast People keep asking what I'd settle down for I finally found something I wanna make last My stubborn pride Laid on the floor Burned every bridge I've built before You pulled me from the fire So I won't face the flames alone And gave this gypsy heart The only home it's ever known Never planned on making it quite this far It's a hard road sleeping on white lines Paint a neon smile just to cover all my scars I was always twelve steps behind My stubborn pride Laid on the floor Burned every bridge I've built before You pulled me from the fire So I won't face the flames alone And gave this gypsy heart The only home it's ever known You're the most unlikely angel That saved me from myself Heaven knows I need you, baby Can't get high on nothing else My stubborn pride Laid on the floor Burned every bridge I've built before You pulled me from the fire So I won't face the flames alone And gave this gypsy heart The only home it's ever known And gave this gypsy heart The only home it's ever known

She's a wild one never had a mild tongue Gypsy child yeah she always get the job done Walking barefoot, trippin' to the jam scene I gave her champagne now she wants a limousine Don't you know what I mean Yeah you know what I mean Had to say goodbye, cause you lie, lie lied to me I let her in then she took me for a joy ride I let her win and I still don't even know why I was singing she was smoking on a pipe dream She was living but it wasn't in reality Don't you know what I mean Yeah you know what I mean I said goodbye, cause you lie, lie lied to me I'm so tired of dealing with insanity I'm the fire baby you know you're my gasoline Yeah you know what I mean Yeah you know what I mean I said goodbye, cause you lie, lie lied to me

Too much of that ol' Whiskey River Leaves a young man feelin' old That old love you still remember Cuts you deep down in your soul Lost that girl down in New Orleans Chasin' some old voodoo dream Levee broke on Whiskey River Got me tryin' to swim upstream Gettin' tired, I'm goin' crazy Headed back, Tennessee I gotta crawl on out of this river 'Fore it drowns me in the sea Shotgun Willie on the stereo Words are speakin' right to my heart If I keep reachin' for that bottle It's gonna tear my world apart Gettin' tired of goin' crazy Headin' back, Tennessee I gotta crawl on out of that river 'Fore it drowns me in the sea, ah-ha One more cup of coffee Old Cafe Du Monde Get my head together Ride my Cadillac back home Gettin' tired, I'm going crazy Headin' home to Tennessee I gotta crawl on out of that river 'Fore it drown me in the sea I gotta crawl on out of this river 'Fore it drown me in the sea, ah-ha Woo-hoo-hoo

Beautiful stranger You come here quite often I don't know your name But I know what you drink You got a secret But it's one you can't keep Oh, beautiful stranger You're an angel to me So if you're feeling lonely Come sit next to me We'll find a slow song To dance to, and strangers No longer we'll be Beautiful stranger So lovely tonight Could it be my future That I see in your eyes Take me to heaven And do as you please Oh, beautiful stranger You're an angel to me Beautiful stranger You come here quite often I don't know your name But I know what you drink You got a secret But it's one you can't keep Oh, beautiful stranger You are like an angel to me Beautiful stranger You are like an angel to me

When I was just a young 'n' bouncin' on my momma's knee She said, "There's only one thing that sets your soul free" Wasn't no easy street where I come from There wasn't no sleep until the work was done Papa was preaching 'bout the fires of hell If you want a drink of water, got to go to the well The Cornerstone church tried to curse my soul But the good Lord gave me that rock and roll Let the spirit pull me under, to the bottom of the well You wanna live forever, but you never can tell So one for the money, two, another show Three for the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
