Backslidin

The woman takin care of me takes care to never let me be

You know I'd go home but she'll just be standing there

In the porchlight with her rolling pin she'll cross her arms say "Where you been?"

I'll say "I can't say" and she'll say "No you tell me where"

I'll say "I can't say" and she'll just sigh and frown

And I'll try to sleep just knowing she's still standing there

Thinking how every time she trusts me I just go and let her down

The time it sure has slipped by fast my curfew's come and gone and passed

And my money all got spent before my tab was paid

With another night of streets to roam and anywhere to go but home

I'll begin to wonder of the impact my impression's made
