[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
