Slide Machine

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

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

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

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 then just the same

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

I've been down south where they use the slide machine

Where the gods of cold 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
