Shady Cats - Slippin' Away Lyrics

Used to be that slippin' away
Meant dreamy times in the middle of the day
Slip off at three, stay till five
Girl leave me drained, yet so alive
Come back full power and hungry for more
Ready to play, and ready to score

Slippin' away Back in the day
So good that way That was slip-pin' away

Twenty years old, out for a run
Girls honk their horns in the afternoon sun
Ain't braggin', just telling the truth
I'm on the record about the glories of youth
With some luck, and pushing hard
I was the player with all of the cards
But dirty Time keeps chippin' away
Breakin' me down to set the record straight

Slip-pin' awa----ay the wrong way.
Every dog has his da---ay but now I'm slip-pin' awa----ay

Middle age jokers used to make me smirk
But, now, none of my old tricks still work
What went wrong?!

Nowadays, slippin' away
Means slippin' out for therapy to fix my aches
I ain't running, ain't living fast
I kept a pace that could not last
By working so hard, I had no doubt,
It'd keep me strong, but it wore me out

Slip-pin' awa----ay the wrong way
Every dog has his da---ay but now I'm slip-pin' awa----ay
Slip-pin' awa----ay the wrong way. Every
Dog has his da---ay but now I'm slip-pin' awa----ay
