500 Up

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 jokeAnd we are laughing
She don't know what it means
She just knows
That it's not what it seemsEverybody knows that's she's goin' nowhere
Everybody always tells her, how much they care
When all they really care about is growing their hair
And getting it cutAnd we are laughing
She don't know what it means
She just knows
That it's not what it seemsShe's runnin' down much faster
Home base is around the corner
All she can hear is laughter
And that's all that's in store for herSliding downwards, you're the batter
That's what they say, 500 up on the ladder
She comes running down like water
She comes running downEverybody knows that she's goin' nowhere
Everybody always tells her, how much they care
When all they really care about is cutting their hair
Letting it growAnd we are laughing
She don't know what it means
She just knows
That it's not what it seemsShe's runnin' 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
