[Verse 1] There'll be a trigger, then up starts the fire A handful of matches, some faulty wiring You say you have this hollow feeling Something's always been missing [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Scanning 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] You'll start driving south, stopping somewhere in Mississippi You think nobody sees you and no one is looking And when no one is looking, no one is looking [Chorus] 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
