SLOWING UP.

SLOWING UP.

Everybody’s runnin’
In this eventful day;
Runnin’ some big business
So’s to make it pay;
Runnin’ for an office
Or runnin’ from the law-
It’s the fastest runnin’
That this old world ever saw.

I want to stop a minute,
So’s to kind o’ ketch my breath,
We go so fast around the curves
It scares me most to death.
I want some time for friendships
And an hour or so for talk.
I’m tired ‘f all this runnin’,
So I’ll jes’ git out an’ walk.
