Lyrics The Slide - Duff McKagan’s Loaded

The Slide

70's gave us punk rock
80's gave us crap
90's junkie chic, so cool
I don’t remember much of that
Snorted coke with heroes
Drank Everclear with foes
Got nothin' left to show
'cept a doctor diggin' up my nose
Yeah, I had a problem
I didn’t care, it didn’t matter to me
Just needed more air to breathe
(I didn’t care, I didn’t wanna believe)
Yeah, I scraped the bottom
I was empty, nothing left to say
Almost drowned and had it go away
I’ve seen a man go crazy
Taste a bathroom floor
Been that filthy, drunken asshole
Rotten to the core
I saw a fallen angel
Caught her in my arms
Spoke of what he did to her
Now she’s dancing 'round with Daddy’s scars
Yeah, I had a problem
I didn’t care, it didn’t matter to me
Just needed more air to breathe
(I didn’t care, I didn’t wanna believe)
Guess I scraped the bottom
I was empty, nothing left to say
Almost drowned and let it slip away
Went through the window
Crashed to the ground
I’m not sure if he lived or died
Cause I didn’t wanna stick around
Guess I had a problem
I didn’t care, it didn’t matter to me
I just needed more air to breathe
(I didn’t care, I didn’t wanna believe)
Yeah, I scraped the bottom
I was empty, nothing left to say
Almost drowned and threw it all away
Away…
