70s funk classic of the day: "Glide" by Pleasure (1979)

headbang headbang headbang headbang

"Glide"
written by N.Phillips and B.Smith

Car won't start,out of gas
check past two,reserves won't last
caught the bus to go downtown
bus broke down,downtown bound
left the bus,flagged down a cab
the driver said "I want all your cash"

Don't let that keep you behind
Glide,glide on by
Don't let that keep you behind
Glide,glide on by
Glide,glide on by

Using my thumb to hitch a ride
flagged down my partna'..."Ooh 45"
jumped in,flipped out on his radio
with the baddest jam in my earhole
I said "Who's that? The ride is so smooth"
He told me "That's Pleasure's brand new groove"

Let the groove blow your mind
Glide,glide on by
Let the groove blow your mind
Glide,glide on by
Let the groove blow your mind
Glide,glide on by
Let the groove blow your mind
Glide,glide on by

The next time you blow your mind
Glide,glide on by
The nest time you blow your mind
Glide,glide on by

Glide
Glide
Glide
Glide
