Slip Slidin’ Away Songtext
von Rita Wilson

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 hometown

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

He's slip slidin′
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
And we 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
