I know a woman (who) became a wife
These are the very words she uses to descri be her li fe
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 migh t have been

You know the ne arer your destin ation the more you slip sliding away
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to t ell him all the reasons for t he things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay s leeping
Then he turned around and he headed home again

Whoah God only knows God makes his plan
The informatio n's unavailable to the mortal man
We're work in' our jobs col lect our pay
Believe we're gliding down th e highway w hen in fac t we're sl ip sliding away
