0:14Slip slidin' away
0:18Slip slidin' away
0:23You know the nearer your destination
0:25The more you're slip slidin' away
0:31I know a man
0:35He came from my home town
0:39He wore his passion for his woman
0:41Like a thorny crown
0:45He said Dolores
0:49I live in fear
0:53My love for you's so overpowering
0:56I'm afraid that I will disappear
1:00Slip slidin' away
1:04Slip slidin' away
1:08You know the nearer your destination
1:11The more you're slip slidin' away
1:16I know a woman
1:20Became a wife
1:24These are the very words she uses
1:27To describe her life
1:31She said a good day
1:35Ain't got no rain
1:39She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
1:41And think of things that might have been
1:46Slip slidin' away
1:50Slip slidin' away
1:54You know the nearer your destination
1:57The more you're slip slidin' away
2:06And I know a father
2:09Who had a son
2:10He longed to tell him all the reasons
2:13For the things he'd done
2:16He came a long way
2:20Just to explain
2:24He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
2:27Then he turned around and headed home again
2:31Slip slidin' away
2:35Slip slidin' away
2:40You know the nearer your destination
2:43The more you're slip slidin' away
2:56God only knows
3:00God makes his plan
3:04The information's unavailable
3:07To the mortal man
3:10We work our jobs
3:14Collect our pay
3:18Believe we're gliding down the highway
3:20When in fact we're slip slidin' away
3:25Slip slidin' away
3:29Slip slidin' away
3:34You know the nearer your destination
3:36The more you're slip slidin' away
3:41Slip slidin' away
3:45Slip slidin' away
3:50You know the nearer your destination
3:52The 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 I know a man He came from my home town He wore his passion for his woman Like a thorny crown He 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' 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 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
