Downhill Stuff - John Denver

Blue river blues

I’d rather be outside

Here I am inside

Watching it rain

Blue river blues

I’d rather be somewhere

Here I am nowhere

Watching it rain

One, two, three, four!

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 different 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

But 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

Some like the downhill stuff

I like the downhill stuff

Let me slide down that downhill stuff

Oh, honey give me some downhill stuff
