1st Verse
Oh my love won?t you save my soul, Oh my life has whipped me so
Save my soul, Save my soul tonight
Because I know where I?m goin I can?t seem to get it right
2nd Verse
I keep on trying & doing it wrong
Keep on goin down to that same old farm
I?m goin down, Head-in down tonight
Lord knows I?m trying; I Can?t seem to get it right
Keep slidin baby
3rd Verse
Woke up this morning with hope in my eye, Hoped to see you brighten my sky
I was wrong again, Its all my fault
I don?t know where I?m goin, I?m slidin down tonight
4th Verse
Oh Papa I?ve done what you said
Followed your lead & look where it lead
Cause I?m just like my daddy Going down that hollow road
I followed their lead and look where it goes
5th Verse
I prayed this morning that something would change
Asked my Lord to show me the same, But its cold & gray & dark outside
Cause I followed their lead. It leads down that long slide
6th Verse
Headin down the slide is a one way track
Gonna find my place. My place in the back
Goin down to the fire below
On the long slide baby there?s only one way to go
Instrumental Outro & Tag
Without you baby I will slip into those long slide blues
