	Story Behind the Song This song was written out of frustration that comes from trying to keep up with payments, work, relationships, technology, my kids. Sometimes I'd just like the world to slow down a little. I tried to get an underwater effect going in the background of this tune. I'm especially proud of figuring out a rhyme for "barracudas". Lyrics Here I am just swimmin' in the sea Just a big ol' manatee Never bothered anyone around Never tried to put nobody down Then along comes this here speedboat Runnin' over me and cuttin' my throat Seems the world today is moving much too fast for me Life is a speedboat, and I am just a manatee I look around me and I wonder why People pick on such a helpless guy I'm just tryin' to get from here to there Still there's danger lurkin' everywhere If it ain't boats it's sharks or barracudas Makes me sicker than a stomach flu does Seems the world today is moving much too fast for me Life is a speedboat and I am just a manatee Here I am just swimmin' in the sea Just a big ol' honkin' manatee Never bothered anyone around Never tried to put nobody down Seems the world today is moving much too fast for me Life is a speedboat and I am just a manatee Seems the world today is moving much too fast for me Life is a speedboat and I am just a manatee
