    Story Behind the Song
    A friend made some comment about how much I'm able to get accomplished. I thought, if you only knew all the things I let slide.

    When we were recording this, Bill pointed out to me that the last verse was one line short. In the interest of time we still recorded it. I've added the missing line to the lyrics below.

    Lyrics
    SLIDE
    by Linda McKeeth
    © 2/26/02


    Chorus:
    Do this, do that, do the other thing too.
    Do this, do that, do the other thing too.
    So many things I have to do.
    Other things I really want to do.
    The things that I can let slide, slide.

    The dishes pile up high, high, high.
    Laundry day came and went by, bye-bye.
    Never get through that stack of stuff.
    Kitchen floor doesn't get swept enough.
    Car needs cleaned inside and out.
    Put off painting another year, no doubt.
    These are things I let slide.

    Chorus

    Hope to get six hours of sleep.
    Long hours at work, I do keep.
    Go buy food. We got to eat.
    Bills to pay. Obligations to meet.
    Parent/Teacher Conference at the school.
    Pipe springs a leak. Bring me a tool.
    These are things I have to do.

    Chorus

    Long, hot bath feels so fine.
    Visiting with a friend of mine.
    Grab the kids and go camping for a week.
    Give you more than a kiss on the cheek.
    Paint a picture, or write a song.
    Wear my pajamas all day long.
    These are things I want to do.

    Chorus

    When will life give me a break?
    Last year I had to take
    Vacation days to get things done.
    When is a girl supposed to have fun?
    Life keeps me on the run.
    When I need a break, got to make my own.
    At least there's things I can let slide.

    Chorus
