Walk Real Slow
Navigating Life's Thin Line: Walk Real Slow by ekoostik hookah
Lyrics
Daddy sat me down, way back in '65
Daddy explained a significant event to me in 1965.
Ten years on the lam, no money to survive.
Ten years later, he lived as a fugitive with financial struggles.
He said,"" I gotta' leave you, right here on your own
He informed me that he had to leave me alone.
You'll be better off that way, you won't miss me when I'm gone.""
His departure was portrayed as a positive, suggesting I'd be better off without him.
Momma always told me it would come to that one day.
Mom anticipated this situation and considered him a criminal.
""He's a no good two bit criminal"" that's what his friends would say.
His friends labeled him as a low-level criminal.
Now it's just me and my guitar, and one thing he said you should know,
Now, it's just me and my guitar, recalling his advice.
He said,""You picked a fine line, walk real slow.""
He advised me, "You picked a challenging path, tread carefully."
He said,""You picked a fine line, walk real slow.""
Reiteration of the advice to walk cautiously on the chosen path.
I spent all my time just writing songs.
I dedicated my time to writing songs.
A few years, a few breaks later, I was playing night in, njight out, all year long.
After some years and breaks, I performed consistently.
The one thing I always remembered, the most important thing I know,
Remembering his advice as the most crucial lesson.
He said,""You picked a fine line, walk real slow.""
Reiteration of the advice within the context of songwriting.
He said,""You picked a fine line, walk real slow.""
Repetition of the advice to tread carefully in the music industry.
It's been so many years now, i've had my ups and downs.
Reflecting on many years, acknowledging both successes and failures.
The songs they don't come as easily, but the ones that do, you know their sound.
Songwriting is challenging, but the successful ones have a distinct sound.
The kids they were always asking me""Do you have anything to show?""
Kids inquire about my achievements; I respond with the same advice.
I say,""You picked a fine line, walk real slow.""
Reiteration of the advice to walk cautiously in life.
I say,""You picked a fine line, walk real slow.""
Repetition of the advice to tread carefully on life's journey.
