Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer
Your destination
The more you're
Slip slidin' away
I know a man
He came from
My hometown
He wore his passion
For his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said Delores
I live in fear
My love for you's
So overpowerin'
I'm afraid that I
Will disappear
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer
Your destination
The more you're
Slip slidin' away
And I know a woman
Became a wife
These are
The very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's
When I lie in bed
And think of things
That might have been
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer
Your destination
The more you're
Slip slidin' away
And I know a father
Who had a son
He longed to tell him
All the reasons
For the things he'd done
He came a long way
Just to explain
He kissed his boy
As he lay sleeping
Then he turned around
And headed home again
He's slip slidin'
Slip sliding away
You know the nearer
Your destination
The more you're
Slip slidin' away
And God only knows
When God makes
His plan
The information's
Unavailable
To the mortal man
We'll work at our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're glidin'
Down the highway
When in fact we're
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer
Your destination
The more you're
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer
Your destination
The more you're
Slip slidin' away
