[E]People are talking about us
What did we do that's wrong, so wrong
[A]Now we've got a reput[B]ation about a mile [E]lo[D]ng[A]
When we f[E]ind ourselves on that one way street
We're both headed for trouble, you see
And it's so [A]easy to find
You w[B]alking so close to the [E]line[D] [A]
And it's [C#m]too [G#m]late now [D]what can you [A]say
I can [C#m]feel our [G#m]love [D]slippin' a[A]way
And [C#m]something i[G#m]nside say's I'm a [D]fool to [A]stay
[E]The one that you [D]love is [A]slippin' a[E]wa[D]y[A] [E]
[E]Last summer when we stayed out all night
Telling our stories until daylight
And you [A]told me you loved me
[B]Everything would be all r[E]igh[D]t[A]
[E]You know that sneaking away to have a good time
[E]Sometimes you know we just got to unwind
And it's j[A]ust not so easy
You [B]walkin' so close to the [E]line
And it's [C#m]too [G#m]late now [D]what can you [A]say
I can [C#m]feel our [G#m]love [D]slippin' a[A]way
[C#m]Something [G#m]inside say's I'm a [D]fool to [A]stay
The [E]one that you [D]love is [A]slippin' a[E]way

AMG REVIEW: Having recently departed Souther, Hillman, & Furay, this
album more heavily reflects his association with Manassa than anything
he did with SH&F. A nice batch of songs overall but the high point for
me is the killer version of the bluegrass standard "Take Me in Your
Lifeboat" that closes the album. -- Jim Worbois, All-Music Guide
