Lyrics

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'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 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
 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
