From the recording Americana And Whatever's Left
One of Charlie's favorite's, Slipping Away is a rock and country infused americana song full of soul not only in Charlie but also in the entire chorus of people singing. As Charlie is wants to ask the person that he loves to be with him instead of someone else, he can't since he would never ask someone that he cares so much for to do such a thing. You can here the frustration, anguish, and pain in Charlie's voice as he tells this chapter of Americana And Whatever's Left.
Lyrics
Do you realize it's the same damn thing
Together for the night and strangers for the day
And I know
I know you're with him
You say you'll slip away the way you used to do
Like in the good old days
When I was with you and I know
It'll never be that way again
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Just this once can you stick around and stay
Can we stop all of this running around
Can we tell our friends can we tell the town
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Slipping Away
And I stay up all night and I toss and turn
Singing What About You and how I'm all burned
And Breaking Down for Waller County was my Best Mistake
So tell me how much heat can you take until you're engulfed in an old flame
Or until you're Slipping Away
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Just this once can you stick around and stay
Can we stop all of this running around
Can we tell our friends can we tell the town
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Away
Oh Slipping Away
(Hey Whoa)
(I'm slipping I'm slipping I'm slipping I'm Slipping Away)
(I'm slipping I'm slipping I'm slipping I'm slipping I'm slipping)
(I'm Slipping Away)
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
(Slipping Away)
Just this once can you stick with me and stay
Can we stop all of this running around
Can we tell our friends can we tell the town
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Can you just leave without Slipping Away
Just this once can you stick with me and stay
Can we stop all of this running around
Can we tell our friends can tell the town
Can you just leave him and stay
