Slow Starter Lyrics by John Phillips

Phillips 66

0

[Chorus]
Cheer up, slow starter
Don't give up or try any harder
Stop looking at racing cars
Just follow your own stars
In the end, they'll still be there
When you're finally going somewhere

[Verse 1]
You're a million dollar kid
With all your crazy ideas
Don't be discouraged
If you're not one of your peers
Some kids don't talk
But therefore it doesn't mean that they're dumb
They just want to be sure they're invited to come

[Chorus]
Cheer up, slow starter
Don't give up or try any harder
Stop looking at racing cars
Just follow your own stars
In the end, they'll still be thеre
When you're finally going somеwhere

[Verse 2]
You all know the fable of the tortoise and the hare
They raged face to face at the county fair
They held up the tortoise at the starting gate
But stopped to have his fun
The tortoise had a steady pace and in the end he had won

[Chorus]
Cheer up, slow starter
Don't give up or try any harder
Stop looking at racing cars
Just follow your own stars in the end
They'll still be there
When you're finally going somewhere
