There ain't no well deeper than a mother's fear
There ain't no sky bluer than a mother's tear
She said I believe in your dreams, but just between you and me
I need you to listen to me now

She said
Baby, slow down
I don't want to live to see your world coming down
I just want a boy whose soul has been found
Running in the red ever since you left this town
Even if you decide to turn it all around
Baby, slow down
Baby, slow down

There ain't nothing worse on planet earth
Than a mother laying rest to what she gave birth
She said I believe in your dreams, but just between you and me
What's it all worth if you're in the ground?

She said
Baby, slow down
I don't want to live to see your world coming down
I just want a boy whose soul has been found
Running in the red ever since you left this town
Even if you decide to turn it all around
Baby, slow down
Baby, slow down

She said
Baby, slow down
I don't want to live to see your world coming down
I just want a boy whose soul has been found
Running in the red ever since you left this town
Even if you decide to turn it all around
Baby, slow down
Baby, slow down
