Slide Over Backwards lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Ride over backwards
Ride over backwards
Ride over backwards
Ride over backwards, haha

[Verse 1]
I was just a little girl
A-making my own way
Sixteen years or more I had
Nothing left to say
I raised myself up almost
Lived on po'boys, too
New Orleans ain't a place to live
If you never been to school
And I says

[Chorus]
Ride over backwards
Slide over backwards
Ride over backwards
Let me ride
(People gotta tell ya)
Slide over backwards (Oh)
Slide over backwards
Ride over backwards
Let me ride (Haha)
[Verse 2]
Daddy was a working man
He worked since he was five
He dropped his wings on my train one day
And never learned to fly
I wonder what it takes to be
Someone who knows why
The earth ain't round unless you can
Teach yourself to fly
And I says

[Chorus]
Ride over backwards (Woo, yeah)
Slide over backwards
Slide over backwards (Oh, oh Lord)
Let me ride
(People, gotta tell ya)
Slide over backwards
Slide over backwards
(Sometimes you got to be free)
Slide over backwards
Let me ride

[Bridge]
Every single lifetime you gotta be strong
Some days in a lifetime you gotta be brave
Dig, get on your knees sometimes
And sometimes you even gotta pray
[Outro]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, what it is (Oh Lord, yeah)
Sometimes, sometimes I feel like I'm going down (Oh Lord, yes)
Going down, going down for the very last time
Don't know what it is, don't know what it is
Sometimes, sometimes I feel like going down
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, what it is
Sometimes, sometimes I feel like I'm going down
Going down, going down for the very last time
Sometimes I feel like going down
Down in my heart I pray
Ride over backwards (Let me ride)
Slide over backwards
Ride over backwards (Ride)
Let me ride
Ride over backwards (Ride)
Let me ride (Ride)
Let me ride
