Slick as Sin Strikes Back (Part II: The Sequel's Revenge)

from Love, Money & Revenge by Shandy Lawson

/

lyrics

Been to the bottom but I come back again
Wish I had a dime for all the bottoms I been
Can’t get out of trouble, but I sure get in
Oh, lord—I’m slick as sin
- Written by SL

Mama tried the bible and the rolling pin
Daddy swung the leather and it stung my skin
They tried to send a message but I didn’t flinch
They said I’d learn my lesson but I never did
- Written by Chris Bousquet

Two steps up, but they knock you right back
I try to make up for all the skills that I lack
First I try, then I fail, and then I try again
Even the devil can’t stop me, I’m slick as sin
- Written by Frank Critelli

I was just fourteen when I left the nest
I took a railroad job, and headed west
When my father finally caught me I was grown a man
He grabbed me by the neck and cussed Goddamn
- Written by Calvin DeCutlass

I’ve been known to talk about where I’ve been
I’m like a travel agent in a singer’s skin
And if the journey ends before I’ve arrived
At least I’ll have some peace knowing that I tried
- Written by Mike Lasala

Wish that I could stay a longer while
We’re putting it together here old-school style
Clowns on the radio, pissing on fires
But the tent’s coming down and the wind’s getting higher
- Written by Patsy O’Brien

Another year over, another record to do
And if it takes us nowhere, at least I’ll be there with you
Ask me if I want to and I’m gonna say yes
Even if our only fame is in the Bristol Press
- Written by Peter & Julie Riccio

I spied a little honey out in the front row
She was digging my groove, she said, “Go Velvet, Go!”
I gave her a wink and I started to vamp
Got tangled up in my cord and tripped over my amp
- Written by James Velvet
