Slip Slidin' Away

Slip slidin' away

Slip slidin' away

You know, the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' awayI know a man

He came from my home town

He wore his passion for his woman

Like a thorny crownHe said, "Dolores

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' awayAnd I know a woman

Became a wife

These are the very words she uses

To describe her lifeShe 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' awayAnd I know a father

Who had a son

He longed to tell him all the reasons

For the things he'd doneHe came a long way

Just to explain

He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping

Then he turned around and headed home againHe slipped slidin'

Slip slidin' away

You know, the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' awayGod only knows

God makes his plan

The information's unavailable

To the mortal manWe work in our jobs

Collect our pay

Believe we're gliding down the highway

When in fact we're slip slidin' awaySlip slidin' away

Slip slidin' away

You know, the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' awaySlip slidin' away

Slip slidin' away

You know, the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' away
