Slippin Away — текст песни (Steve Earle)

Back in my old home town

There were long summer days

And there were leaves on the ground

And it was too cold to play



The citys colder than cold

Its faceless and gray

And all the dreams that you hold

Keep slippin away



Chorus:

Slippin away, slippin away

Little by little, day by day

Slippin away, slippin away

Little by little and day by day



I saw an old friend of mine

Asked if he was ok

And he said everythings fine

But his eyes filled with pain



Yeah, he had nothin to lose

He had nothin to say

He feels worn out and used

And slippin away



Chorus



Better put up a fight

Start right here today

Its time you start right

Before you just slip away
