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 are laughing



She don't know what it means



She just knows



That it's not what it seems



Everybody 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 cut



And we are laughing



She don't know what it means



She just knows



That it's not what it seems



She'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



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 goin' nowhere



Everybody always tells her, how much they care



When all they really care about is cutting their hair



Letting it grow



And we are laughing



She don't know what it means



She just knows



That it's not what it seems



She'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
