Slippery Slope

[Verse 1: Dar Williams]
Well, we tied that knot
Just look at those rings we got
Gonna wear ‘em each year after today

We knew it was meant to be
We didn’t have to go wait and see
No matter what they say
I think you’ll agree we’re doing A OK

[Chorus 1: Williams and Lauderdale]
But you’re shaking your head
Now I’m tossing in bed
Are you smiling the smile
Like you wanted to shout?
Are we doing it wrong?
Are we dancing along
Down the slippery slope
That they told us about?
Oh whoa whoa

[Verse 2: Jim Lauderdale]
When you do that thing
That stubbornly not talking
Just say it’s me, I’ll say it’s true

For I am a horse’s ass
In a dancing class
Just getting around
Apologizing and knocking everybody down

[Chorus 2: Williams and Lauderdale]
Am I saying too much?
Not saying enough?
Feel the push and the pull
And the working it out
Are we letting it slide?
Are we taking a ride
Down the slippery slope
That they told us about?
Oh whoa whoa

[Verse 3: Williams and Lauderdale]
At the start of an avalanche
We’ll grab ahold of an olive branch
Until that sun comes out again

Or how about in the things we do
You’ll think of me and I’ll think of you
Right through to the end
Hand and hand as we go, and the best of friends

[Chorus 3: Williams and Lauderdale]
You’re my beacon of light
You’re my noblest fight
You’re the surest of things that I ever have found
There’s a twist and a turn
There’s a bridge you can burn
There’s a slippery slope
Let’s stand our ground
Oh whoa whoa
