  • Slipping away what can I say
    Won`t you stay inside me month of May
    And hold on to me golden day, slipping away

    Sunshine on my wall
    To keep my mind on the things I`m saying
    Footsteps in the hall
    To tell me I`ve been this way before, nevermore

    Let it rain sweet Mary Jane
    Let it wash your love down all around me
    Come inside and put it down
    Let it rain

    I`ve been trying hard to find a way to let you know
    That we can make it shine most all the time
    This time `round I`m searching down to where I used to go
    And it`s been on my mind to make it shine

    You can say I want to be free
    I can say someday I will be

    You can say I want to be free
    I can say someday I will be

    When I catch a common cold
    want to hear a saxophone
    When I let the good times roll, baby
    Slide me a bass trombone

    Walk me down old Funky Street
    Lord knows I feel good enough to eat (now)
    Hold my soul. Now, I`m sure enough fond of my rock `n roll

    When I go to sleep at night
    want to hear a slide guitar
    When I`m feeling loose and right
    Riding in my automobile
    Boney Maroney and Peggy Sue
    Got the rocking pneumonia, got the boogey-woogey flu
    Baby, hold my soul. Said, I`m sure enough fond of my rock `n roll
