Richard Tillich songs
SLIPS MY MIND DEMO
V1
UNDERNEATH A RAILROAD TRESTLE BY A HUGE WATERFALL
FOUND A CUT OUT IN THE ROCKS, A PERFECT PLACE TO HIDE IT ALL
I TOOK EIGHT BAGS OF MONEY, BEEN RUNNING MOST THE NIGHT
IT WAS NEARLY DAWN, WHEN I GOT CAUGHT UP IN A GUNFIGHT
RISE
HE SAID NOT SO FAST, IT’S YOUR LAST DANCE
GIVE ME THE CASH. YOU GOT ONE CHANCE
I SLOWLY PULLED A CIGARETTE FROM MY VEST
BLOOD RED WET! HE PUT A HOLE IN MY CHEST
C 1
I WAS RICH BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS! THEN I DIED
TOO BAD I COULDN’T TAKE IT WITH ME TO THE OTHER SIDE
BECAUSE OF GREED I HID IT WELL FROM ALL MANKIND
NEAR A SMALL TOWN BY A RIVER CALLED, IT SLIPS MY MIND
V 2
MY PAL PULLED THE TRIGGER, MY GAL AT HIS BACK
HE TOOK MY BOOTS, MY ROLLED SMOKES, MY SADDLE AND TACK
THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL; THERE WAS PLENTY TO GO AROUND
THE LIGHT OF LIFE WAS FADING FAST, AS MY BODY HIT THE GROUND
RISE
LYING A FEW FEET FROM THE LOOT NEITHER HAD A CLUE
MY SIGHT WENT FIRST. I COULD HEAR THE TWO
TEARING THRU MY POCKETS, TALKING ME DOWN
SEARCHING FOR A MAP THAT CAN’T BE FOUND
C 2
I WAS RICH BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS! THEN I DIED
TOO BAD I COULDN’T TAKE IT WITH ME TO THE OTHER SIDE
BECAUSE OF GREED I HID IT WELL FROM ALL MANKIND
NEAR A SMALL TOWN BY A RIVER CALLED, IT SLIPS MY MIND
BRIDGE
KILLED IN MY SLEEP WAS ALL TOO REAL TO ME
I ROLLED OUT OF BED WENT TO THE LIBRARY
FOUND A CLIP WHERE THREE MASKED MEN HELD UP A TRAIN
ONE BODY FOUND, TWO GOT AWAY, THE LOOT REMAINS
THE LOOT REMAINS,
C 3
I WAS RICH BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS! THEN I DIED
IN MY SLEEP I WENT ON TO THE OTHER SIDE
BECAUSE OF GREED I HID IT WELL COULDN’T FIND IT IF I TRIED
NEAR A SMALL TOWN BY A RIVER CALLED, IT SLIPS MY MIND
IT SLIPS MY MIND I COULDN’T FIND IT IF I TRIED
