Lyriikka ›

Tällanen alko pyöriä päässä tässä päivänä muutamana luistellessani kohti autotallia. Tämän olis tarkotus olla sellanen johnnycashmainen simppeli kantriralli, joka pikemminkin puhutaan kuin lauletaan. Ja arviota kehiin, pyydän ma.
 
Slippin` Time
 
It`s pretty darn cold outside my house
and there`s snow all around.
I`m pretty short of booze and all out of food,
so I guess I`ll hit the town.
Put on my cowboy hat and them rattlesnake boots
`cause I got the style and class.
I start my journey to the garage out back
and fall right on my god damn ass.
 
Oh lord, oh lord won`t ya tell me now
are you making fun of poor old me?
Why wasn`t I born in Houston, Texas
or in Memphis, Tennessee?
I`m a rhinestone cowboy `til the day I die,
but it`s no cakewalk in this country of mine.
Because for a half a year it`s always been
and will be a slippin` time.
 
Slip-slip-slip, slippin` time.
It always gives me the blues.
Don`t need no skates or snowboard,
`cause I wear shit kickin` boots.
I spin around the town like a merry-go-round
in that pick up truck I drive.
If you see me, hey - get the hell out of my way
`cause I`m having a slippin` time.
 
Theres snow and there`s ice and I do realise
that there might be an easier way to survive.
There`s different shoes that I know I could use
and get a car with a four wheel drive.
But a man`s gotta do what a man`s gotta do
if he wants to stand proud and tall.
So I will not start hiding, I keep on slippin` and slidin`-
never mind the occasional fall.
 
Slip-slip-slip, slippin` time.
It always gives me the blues.
Don`t need no skates or snowboard,
`cause I wear shit kickin` boots.
I spin around the town like a merry-go-round
in that pick up truck I drive.
If you see me, hey - you`d better stop and pray
`cause I`m having a slippin` time.
