Sloan - 500 Up

Album:

(A. Scott/Sloan)

She comes running
Down like water
To splash around
With the ones that taught her
She's just like
That farmer's daughter
Everybody laughs at the joke

And we're laughing
She don't know
What it means
She just knows
That it's not what it seems

Everybody knows that
She's going nowhere
Everybody always tells her
How much they care
But all they really care about is
Growin' their hair
And gettin' it cut

And we're laughing
She don't know
What it means
She just knows
That it's not what it seems

She's running down much faster
Home base is around the corner
All she can hear is laughter
And that's all that's in store for her

Sliding downwards
You're the batter
That's what they say
500 up
On the ladder

She comes running
Down like water
She comes running down

Everybody knows that
She's going nowhere
Everybody always tells her
How much they care
But all they really care abou
Is cuttin' their hair
And lettin' it grow

And we're laughing
She don't know
What it means
She just knows
That it's not what it seems

She's running down much faster
Home base is around the corner
All she can hear is laughter
And that's all that's in store for her
