[Rita Wilson, Willie Nelson - Slip Slidin' Away lyrics]
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 overpowerin'
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 the 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 sleepin'
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 glidin' 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
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 overpowerin'
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 the 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 sleepin'
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 glidin' 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
