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 Something's always been missing Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' 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 slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away from me ♪ You'll start drivin' South Stoppin' 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 slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away from me Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away Tonight could be the night you go slippin' away from me
