Paul Simon nació en Newark (New Jersey) el 13 de octubre de 1941.
A los 9 años coincidió en la escuela con Art Garfunkel, con el que formaría uno de los dúos musicales más importantes de la historia. En 1957 graban un sencillo, con el nombre de Tom y Jerry (Paul Simon era Jerry), titulado "Hey, Schoolgirl!" y consiguieron colocarse entre los 100 primeros de la lista Billboard. Pero no lograron reeditar este éxito y el dúo se deshizo.
Paul Simon prosigue su carrera más adelante en solitario bajo el seudónimo de Jerry Landis.

Chorus: CAm Slip sliding away, slip sliding away CGFGC You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
AmC Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown FFm He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown CAm He said Dolores, I live in fear CGFGC My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid that I will disappear
chorus
I know a woman, (who) became a wife These are the very words she uses to describe her life She said a good day ain't got no rain She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed And I think of things that might have been
chorus
And I know a father who had a son He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done He came a long way just to explain He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping Then he turned around and he headed home again
chorus
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan The information's unavailable to the mortal man We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away
