Verse 1:
Early in the morning up and out of bed a thousand things runnin through my head
Thinkin' bout all the stuff I gotta get done
8 to 5 getting back home take out the trash mow the lawn I work and work till life just ain't no fun
Chorus:
Well I've gotta slow down for a minute
cause this life that I've been livin
Is killin me but I can't seem to turn it all around
I've gotta stop and smell the roses before the final curtain closes.
All work and no play is gonna put me six feet under ground.
Well I've gotta slow..
Down to the bank cash that check pick up the car that my wife wrecked workin over time just trying to make ends meet drop
off the dog pick up the kids my blood pressures gone How am I ever gonna get through this crazy crazy life I lead
Chorus:
Well I've gotta slow down for a minute
cause this life that I've been livin
Is killin me but I can't seem to turn it all around
I've gotta stop and smell the roses before the final curtain closes.
All work and no play is gonna put me six feet under ground.
Well I've gotta slow down
Yeah I'm caught up in this d*** rat race, this tread mill life won't slow its pace
I'm like a dog chasin my tail wind up right back in the same old place
Chorus:
Well I've gotta slow down for a minute
cause this life that I've been livin
Is killin me but I can't seem to turn it all around
I've gotta stop and smell the roses before the final curtain closes.
All work and no play is gonna put me six feet under ground.
I've gotta slow down...
You know I gotta slow down....
I've gotta slow..... Down...
