Intro: (x2) 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 is so overpowering, I'm afraid that I will disappear.' Chorus: 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.' Chorus: Add: 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. Chorus:Add: (2x) 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. Chorus: (x2)
