Slow Drip

I've been strumming this thing the whole night long

Paying my dues dusk till dawn

I can't complain, I just keep on

To fill that bucket

It's a slow drip

It's a slow drip

You gotta have practice to shoot the bow

You gotta have balance to ride the snow

Gotta have rhythm for your words to flow, and

To fill that bucket

It's a slow drip

(It's a slow drip)

When it's testing me

I just remind myself that there ain't

Nothing for free

Head down, forget about it

This ain't meant to be easy

Back to the grindstone

I'll move my hand when the clock needs me to tick, but

It's a slow drip

It's a slow drip

The water looks warm till you dive in

You think you know if you'll sink or swim

But it's you and your skates when the ice gets thin

To fill that bucket

It's a slow drip

And you need a strong back to keep your head up

Need a quick wit for when you choke up

Need tough skin for when you get cut

To fill that bucket

It's a slow drip

When it's testing me

I just remind myself that there ain't

Nothing for free

Head down, forget about it

This ain't meant to be easy

Back to the grindstone

I'll move my hand when the clock needs me to tick, but

It's a slow drip

It's a slow drip

When it's testing me

I just remind myself that there ain't

Nothing for free

Head down, forget about it

This ain't meant to be easy

Back to the grindstone

I'll move my hand when the clock needs me to tick

When it's testing me

I just remind myself that there ain't

Nothing for free

Head down, forget about it

This ain't meant to be easy

Back to the grindstone

I'll move my hand when the clock needs me to tick, but

It's a slow drip

It's a slow drip
