Stop And Smell The Roses
Mac Davis
(Davis/Severinsen)
Hey Mister
Where you going in such a hurry
Don't you think it's time you realized
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry
The sweetest things in life are free
And there right before your eyes
You got to Stop and Smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the roses along the way
Before you went to work this morning in the city
Did you spent some time with your fam

Left behind your friends and parents
You don't care about anyone else

They can't help you on your way
Day by day you're gettin' deeper
Feel like sterylize your mind
Don't you know they just control you?

You've been told that you decide
What is wrong and what is right
That you create your past and future

They want to kill your personality

There were signs all over town
Come see the rodeo
When I saw those fair ground lights a shinin'
I knew I had to go
There were bulls and wild horses
Arrows and clowns
Rhinestones and glitter sparklin'
And cowboys all around
But there was one I never will forget
He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave
That's the cowboy guarantee
That night we got together
We drove out to the lake
Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight
I gave my heart away

Man it's the greatest dance you ever saw
Let's go everybody and move your feet

Everything is grooving people here's your chance
It's time for you to do this dance
It's called the majestic majestic yeah majestic majestic yeah
Come on everybody take a tip from me
They even got the message down in Waikiki
Grab your partner and get on the ball
Everytime you hear this call
Cause there is no mo
