"Slippery Slope" lyrics

She's a young girl
About eighteen
Sitting with a fella in the backseat
Got the radio playing
Both of them swaying
To a song about the golden rain

It's a big moon
And a bright sky
Said they wouldn't do it but they just might
Fall in love, better hurry up
Told her daddy she'd be back at midnight

Down they go
Can't nobody tell them that they oughtta take it slow
They just row
They don't need a rope
Going with the flow
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope

Clocks are ticking
Dad is pacing
Back in the bedroom mama's praying
Lord just get her home
Keep her daddy calm
He knows just what that boy's thinking
Going too fast
Making good chance
They just crossed the Alabama state line
What they're headed for
They're really not sure
But they're gonna say I do before the morning light

Down they go
Can't nobody tell them that they oughtta take it slow
They just row
They don't need a rope
Going with the flow
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope (wooo)

Top down side
Sit so high
Close their eyes and take a plunge
Leaving all their innocence they're
Just headstrong, and so damn young

Down they go
Lorn they oughtta take it slow
They just row
They don't need a rope
Going with the flow
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope
Yeah (they don't need a rope)
Slippery slope (going with the flow)
Slippery slope
Oh (they don't need a rope)
Oh (going with the flow)

Said they won't do it but they damn sure fell in love
