Sip It Slow by Sin and Shine
Sip It Slow
(Verse 1 – Male)
Grandpa said, “Son, take it easy, friend,
Don’t let the jar run you ‘til the bitter end.”
I nodded slow, but I poured it fast,
Good advice hit the floor, didn’t seem to last.
(Verse 2 – Female)
Mama said, “Honey, one sip won’t kill,
But don’t get fancy, don’t lose your will.”
I laughed at her voice, thought I was fine,
But two sips later, we were outta line.
(Pre-Chorus – Together)
The words were wise, but we didn’t care,
Bad advice floats in the sticky night air.
(Chorus – Together)
Sip it slow, they all said,
But nobody listens ‘til they’re hangin’ by a thread.
Laugh too loud, fall too hard,
Payin’ the price for the wrong kind of heart.
Sip it slow, but we never do,
Good advice lost in a whiskey hue.
(Verse 3 – Male)
I tripped on the tailgate, kissed the dirt,
Felt ten feet tall, then felt the hurt.
The jar’s a liar, the shine’s a cheat,
Taught me lessons I can’t repeat.
(Verse 4 – Female)
I twirled too fast, I sang too loud,
Moonshine lifted us above the crowd.
But gravity’s patient, it always wins,
Even the best-laid plans turn into sins.
(Pre-Chorus – Together)
The words were gold, but we were fools,
Followin’ our hearts instead of the rules.
(Chorus – Together)
Sip it slow, they all said,
But nobody listens ‘til they’re hangin’ by a thread.
Laugh too loud, fall too hard,
Payin’ the price for the wrong kind of heart.
Sip it slow, but we never do,
Good advice lost in a whiskey hue.
(Bridge – Female)
Next time they whisper, “Take your time,”
I might just listen, might just mind.
(Bridge – Male)
But the night’s too young, the jar too near,
And the best advice fades with the cheer.
(Chorus – Together, Big Finish)
Sip it slow, they all said,
But nobody listens ‘til they’re hangin’ by a thread.
Laugh too loud, fall too hard,
Payin’ the price for the wrong kind of heart.
Sip it slow, but we never do,
Good advice lost in a whiskey hue.
(Outro – Together)
Yeah, sip it slow… but nobody listens,
We’re still laughin’, still chasin’ mischief and missions.
