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 home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a t^^&$#* crown

He said Delores
I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering

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


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 fa-ther
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


Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' away

God only knows

God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man

We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're gliding 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
You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' away
Mmm...
