Donna Summer - Slide Over Backwards lyrics
[Donna Summer - Slide Over Backwards lyrics]
Ride over backwards ride over backwards
Ride over backwards ride over backwards
I was just a little girl a making my own way
16 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 said ride over backwards
Slide over backwards ride over backwards
Let me ride
People gotta tell you slide over backwards
Slide over backwards ride over backwards
Let me ride
Daddy was a working man
He worked since he was 5
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 said ride over backwards
Slide over backwards slide over backwards
Let me ride
People gotta tell you slide over backwards
Slide over backwards
(sometimes you gotta be free)
Slide over backwards let me ride
Some days in a lifetime you gotta be strong
Some days in lifetime you gotta be brave
Dig on your knees sometimes
Sometimes you even gotta pray
Lord what it is what it is
Sometimes I feel like I'm going down
Going down going down for the very last time
Oh don't know what it is
Don't know what it is
Sometimes I feel like going down
Deep in my heart I pray ride over backwards
