Amanda Shires - Slippin' Lyrics

Amanda Shires Lyrics

"Slippin'"

There'll be a trigger
Then up starts the fire
A handful of matches
Some faulty wiring
You'll say you have this hollow feeling
Like something's always been missing

Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away from me

Scannin' the room
She'll catch you off guard
The curve of her shoulder
The length of the bar
The length of the bar
You'll forget who you are

Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away from me

You'll start drivin' South
Stop in Somewhere, Mississippi
You think nobody sees you
And no one is looking
And when no one is looking
No one is looking

Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away from me
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away
Tonight could be the night you go slipping away from me
