Downhill Stuff

Blue River Blue, I'd rather be outside
Blue River Blue, I'd rather be somewhere

Some people like that downhill stuff
They like it fast and breezy
Some people walk on the other side
They like it slow and easy
Some people run on a mountain trail
Some like it wild and rough
Some like to fly and some like to sail
And some like the downhill stuff

There's work in what we practice
Work in the things we say
Sometimes we work
Just to try to make a living
Or we're workin' just to make it pay
Sometimes we're tryin' to work our will
But that won't work anyway
I only know that I'm workin' still
Just to get another chance to play

Some people like that downhill stuff
They like it fast and breezy
Some people walk on the other side
They like it slow and easy
Some people run on a mountain trail
Some like it wild and rough
Some like to fly and some like to sail
And some like the downhill stuff

Keep movin' in a forward direction
Like a river rollin' down to the sea
If you wanna make a diff'rent selection
Honey, let yourself go with gravity

Everybody's lookin' for heaven
Everybody's lookin' for home
Everybody's lookin' for higher and higher
But nobody wants to be lookin' alone
Everybody's tryin' to get down to it
Everybody's tryin' to sing
Whatever it is we're all gonna do it
'Cause whatever we do we gotta do our own thing

Some people like that downhill stuff
They like it fast and breezy
Some people walk on the other side
They like it slow and easy
Some people run on a mountain trail
Some like it wild and rough
Some like to fly and some like to sail
And some like the downhill stuff
I like the downhill stuff
Let me slide down that downhill stuff
Oh, honey give me some downhill stuff
