The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar The only swinging I’ve ever done was in some bar The only playground I played around on is When I played around with that woman named Joanie The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar The only school I’ve ever been to was the school of hard knocks My major was major mistakes, I made a lot The only degree I ever earned at all Is a PhD in havin’ a ball The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar Oh the only book learning that I’ve ever had Was from a mailbag guitar book I got from my Dad The only test I ever made a passing grade on Was “Testing 1 2 3” on this microphone The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar The only swinging I’ve ever done was in some bar The only playground I played around on is When I played around with that woman named Joanie The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar The only slide I ever played on is a slide guitar
