Slip Slidin' Away

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 thorny crown

He said "Delores, I live in fear

My love for you is 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 not rain"

She said "A bad day's when I lie in bed

And I 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 had done

He came a long way just to explain

He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping

Then he turned around and he 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're working 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

Slip slidin' away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip slidin' away
