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

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
