Slippin' Away Lyrics - Steve Earle

Back in my old home town 

There were long summer days 

And there were leaves on the ground 

And it was too cold to play 

The city's colder than cold 

It's faceless and gray 

And all the dreams that you hold 

Keep slippin' away 

Chorus: 

Slippin' away, slippin' away 

Little by little, day by day 

Slippin' away, slippin' away 

Little by little and day by day

I saw an old friend of mine 

Asked if he was ok 

And he said everything's fine 

But his eyes filled with pain 

Yeah, he had nothin' to lose 

He had nothin' to say 

He feels worn out and used 

And slippin' away 

Chorus

Better put up a fight 

Start right here today 

It's time you start right 

Before you just slip away
