[Verse 1]
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

[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]
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

[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 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

[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
