WELL I USED TO LAUGH
WITH AN OLD FRIEND
TILL THE BUSY WORLD
PULLED HIM AWAY
BUT EVERY
NOW AND THEN
I SEE HIM AGAIN
BUT HE'S NOT THE
SAME MAN I
KNEW YESTERDAY
HIS SMILE JUST GROWS
SMALLER AND SMALLER
AND THE WORRY LINES
FILL UP HIS FACE
BUT LATELY I'M THINKIN'
THE NEXT TIME I SEE HIM
JUST WHAT
I'M GONNA SAY
SLOW DOWN
MAN IN THE MIRROR
SLOW DOWN
YOU'RE RUNNIN'
TOO FAST TO SEE
WHAT LIFE'S ALL ABOUT
THIS WORLD AIN'T A FIRE
FOR YOU TO PUT OUT
THE BEST TIMES ARE
HERE AND NOW
SLOW DOWN
SOME DAYS I LOOK BACK
ON THE HARD TIMES
AND THEY REALLY DON'T
SEEM ALL THAT BAD
WELL I'VE GOT TO ADMIT
I LIKE WHAT I'VE GOT
BUT GOD I SURE LOVE
WHAT I HAD
AND IT'S ONLY ON
TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
AFTER BURNING
YOUR LIFE AT BOTH ENDS
YOU LOOK BACK TO SEE
WHERE YOU WANNA BE
IS EXACTLY WHERE
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN
SLOW DOWN
MAN IN THE MIRROR
SLOW DOWN
YOU'RE RUNNIN'
TOO FAST TO SEE
WHAT LIFE'S ALL ABOUT
THIS WORLD AIN'T A FIRE
FOR YOU TO PUT OUT
THE BEST TIMES ARE
HERE AND NOW
SLOW DOWN
SLOW DOWN
BETTER SLOW DOWN
MAN
