      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 fa-ther
      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'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
      Mmm ...
