slip slidin away
slip slidin away
you know the nearer your destination
the more youre 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 yous so overpowering
im afraid that i will disappear
slip slidin away
slip slidin away
you know the nearer your destination
the more youre 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
aint got no rain
she said a bad days 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 youre slip slidin away
and i know a father
who had a son
he longed to tell him all the reasons
for the things hed 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 youre slip slidin away
god only knows
god makes his plan
the informations unavailable
to the mortal man
were working our jobs
collect our pay
believe were gliding down the highway
when in fact were slip slidin away
slip slidin away
slip slidin away
you know the nearer your destination
the more youre slip slidin away
