Chorus:
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination,
the more you 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 Delores, I live in fear
My love for you so overpowering,
I'm afraid that I will disappear

Chorus

I know a woman, (who) 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 the bed
And I think of things that might have been

Chorus

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 he headed home again

Chorus

Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
The information unavailable to the mortal man
We're workin our jobs, collect our pay
Believe were gliding down the highway,
when in fact we're slip sliding away

Chorus repeats 2x
