lyrics

Find a slide at a playground
Break a bottle at the bottom,
You wonder, well I wonder
Climb to the top, turn yourself around
Close your eyes slide on down
Go on now, you’ll know how it feels now
And meet me on the backslide…..

You and I we been around
Every time we’re up
We drag each other down, no wonder, it’s a wonder
And meet me on the backslide…..

CHORUS
The backslide is where your dreams come crashing down
Sink to the bottom for another go around
Make mistakes again and again

Drink enough you can’t lie down
The world is spinning you can’t sleep now
I wonder, it’s a wonder
Sit on the couch ‘till the sun comes up
It’s either go to work or eat a gun
Go on now, be a number
And meet me on the backslide…..

CHORUS
