Lyrics
"Slip on By"
Say you seen it all maybe once or most of it twice...
And how your time has come and now you'll pay the price...
Those days of livin hard and breakin all the rules...
They've just passed you by and brother, now its not so cool...
And you gave it all away son...
Ya let it slip on by...
You let lust invade your heart and your mind...
Gotta baby and a woman you left far behind...
Now your all alone with no one else to blame...
Time has passed you by, it'll never be the same...
And you gave it all away son...
Ya let it slip on by...
And your heart is always achin', for the one whos love was true...
And your mind is always thinkin', about the hell you put her through...
The time ya spent, runnin 'round, acting like a fool...
Was the times she sat there lonely wonderin why she ever loved you...
And you gave it all away son...
Ya let it slip on by...
And you gave it all away son...
Ya let it slip on by...
