Must have heard the same song twenty times

Mama sang and put the make up on her eyes

We were getting ready to go

School and the work whistle blow

Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around

Rush, rush, rush around

I remember thinking this just can't be right

Got to be a better way to live you life

Slow like a soft Southern breeze

Nobody take time to breathe

Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around

Rush, rush, rush around

Ooo what you do, I dreamt of you yesterday

Ooo what you do, you come to me then fade away

Sometimes a memory is hard to bear

Don't know how a thing so old could still be there

When I fell the rain in my soul

I give it up and I go

Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around

Rush, rush, rush around
