Lyrics
Slip slidin’ awaySlip slidin’ away You know the nearer your destination The more you’re slip slidin’ awayI know a man, he came from my home townHe wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown He said “Delores, I live in fear My love for you is so overpoweringI’m afraid that I will disappear”Slip slidin’ away Slip slidin’ away You know the nearer your destinationThe more you’re slip slidin’ awayI 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 bedAnd I think of things that might have been” Slip slidin’ away Slip slidin’ awayYou know the nearer your destinationThe 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 doneHe came a long way just to explainHe kissed his boy as he lay sleeping Then he turned around and he headed home again Slip slidin’ awaySlip slidin’ awayYou know the nearer your destination The more you’re slip slidin’ away God only knows, God makes his planThe information’s unavailable to the mortal manWe’re working our jobs, collect our pay Believe we’re gliding down the highway When in fact we’re slip slidin’ awaySlip slidin’ awaySlip slidin’ away You know the nearer your destination The more you’re slip slidin’ awaySlip slidin’ awaySlip slidin’ away You know the nearer your destination The more you’re slip slidin’ away
