Lyrics

STEADY AND SLOW
 
sometimes I wonder
why it always takes so long
why I always gotta be strong
and patient
 
sometimes I wish I
I wish I had what other people have
wish I did what other people do
and I can’t
 
but than I recall
what a good friend once told me 
you got to remember where you’re from
and I’m a mountain girl
and the mountains are my home
 
and people, people from the mountains
they sure do know
if you want to reach the top
you - gotta walk slow
 
that’s the way to go
steady and slow
 
if you want to reach the top 
you gotta go - steady and slow
 
if you don’t want to loose your breath
you gotta go - steady and slow
