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 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 about 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
