Let It Slide

I’m tryin’ to be better, man I’m tryin’ to improve

I’m tryin’ hard to dig my way out of this pile of blues

It’s easy on the surface, It’s a simple thing to say

But any man with feet and hands knows it don’t work that way

Out on the water the winds are movin’ through

Soon I’ll start to fall apart like people tend to do

But I’m tryin’ to get sober, I’m tryin’ to get right

I’ll think I’ll try tomorrow and let it slide tonight

I’m tryin’ hard to tell myself that I’m still young and spry

There’s a lot of time in between dyin’ and trying to die

I don’t need to be swimmin’ with those sharks to get me high

But the surf is up, load up the truck

I love you dear goodbye

Out on the water the winds are movin’ through

Soon I’ll start to fall apart like people tend to do

But I’m tryin’ to get sober, I’m tryin’ to get right

I’ll try again tomorrow, I’ve let it slide tonight

I’m tryin’ hard to realize that it’s high time I grew up

Gettin’ by on flipping coins and waiting on good luck

But growing up’s elusive when you’ve got a mind like mine

Where growin’ up is giving up before giving in to time

Out on the water the winds are movin’ through

Soon I’ll start to fall apart like people tend to do

But I’m tryin’ to get sober, I’m tryin’ to get right

I’ll think I’ll try tomorrow and let it slide tonight

I’ll try again tomorrow, I’ve let it slide tonight
