Well I'd like to go to Memphis but I don't know the way and I'd like to tell you how I feel but I don't know what to say And I love to go to heaven but I've forgotten how to pray So just help me keeping from sliding down some more Well I tried to get back to her but I got lost on the way I'd start again tomorrow but I don't know what day it is And I'd sure like to love you if you show me the way Just help me keeping from sliding down some more I don't know what it's like out there but in here it's getting darker I've got a lot of things to share but it's sure rough getting there Well I'd like to give you all I've got but I don't know what that is And I'd like to take you with me but I don't know where that is And I know there must be something Some place some way to live So just help me keeping from sliding down some more Just help me keeping from sliding down some more Some more Just help me keeping from sliding down some more Just help me keeping from sliding down some more Original lyrics by Karen Black
