The Slums Lyrics by Hunter Root
I didn’t try to throw it away
But then I lost it at the end of the day
I mean my mind, my heart and my soul
I wouldn’t touch me with a 10-foot pole
You know I love you, babe, but what do I do?
I’m in a rut and I’m taking you too
I didn’t mean it, love, but that’s what I did
I dragged you down to the slums where I live
I couldn’t see what was coming for me
Now I fall over from the slightest breeze
Tried to claw my way out of my sin
I grabbed your hand, now I’m pulling you in
You know I love you, babe, but what do I do?
I let you in and you take the abuse
I didn’t mean it, love, but that’s what I did
I dragged you down to the slums where I live
And every day I live to tell despite the poison in my well
And every night I close my eyes, I die a little more inside
I didn’t know life could be so cruel
I put it all upon a pedestal
I know better but I don’t know much
I got the smoking and the drinking crutch
You know I love you, babe, but what do I do?
I’m in a rut and I’m taking you too
I didn’t mean it, love, but that’s what I did
I dragged you down to the slums where I live
You know I love you, babe, but what do I do?
I let you in and you take the abuse
I didn’t mean it, love, but that’s what I did
I dragged you down to the slums where I live
I dragged you down to the slums where I live
