Name: Slide In Baby
Duration: P00H03M17S
Description: This song takes the loving back in time to when we were footloose and fancy free, "running all over town" and just beginning to think about getting married someday. The music matches the lyrics, with a marked drop in tempo between the first verse and the rest of the song, as we settle down and stop fooling around.

lyrics

Slide In Baby

Slide in baby, and settle down
We've been running all over town
Ain't no point in just fooling around
Gotta get married someday
Gotta get married someday
Gotta get married someday
Now let's just hit the hay

Slide in baby, and don't you cry
All the neighbours will wonder why
I'm gonna love you until we die
Gonna get married someday

Take the time to see what we've got
Take a drink, yeah that hits the spot
Take me on, ready or not
We're gonna get married someday

Slide in baby, and settle down
We've been running, yeah, all over the town
Ain't no point in just fooling around
We've gotta get married someday

We've gotta get married someday
