Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away
I know a man, he came from my hometown
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 sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away
And 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 is when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding 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 sliding, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away
And God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We're workin our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away
Hmm mmm a lo a lo a lo a lo a lo a lo a lo a lo a lo x 5
