She's slowing down again
She's slowing down again

Livin' life at a pace her own kids can't keep
She can see it's everything that she needs
Forced up by the gauges at the top of her dials
She can read it
She believes in it

She's slowing down again
She's slowing down again

Carryin' all the weight
That surrounds her
Like it or not
When a breather's all that she really needs
Not just a pretty face
No there's so much more that she's got
She's the cash and carry
So extraordinarily

How many times have I seen you walk right by?
Never stoppin' to look around
Nothing but determination in both blue eyes
You'll never get it all done lying down
She's slowing down again
She's slowing down again

Surface ain't a question of beauty
No it is not
It's the depths that she can barely impede
Brought up in the roll
Is her duty one of a lot
She's the cash and carry
So extraordinarily

She's slowing down again
She's slowing down again

How many times have I seen you walk right by?
Never stoppin' to look around
Nothing but determination in both blue eyes
Blue eyes ? blue eyes

The obligation to her world I'm guessin'
Can be refunded at the end
Of this mess that she's in
She's a true visionary
Extraordinarily

She's slowing down again
She's slowing down again
She's slowing down again
