| You better stretch your legs real good
|
| Starter pistols in the air
|
| Well, I’ve been runnin', well, I’ve been runnin'
|
| Well, I’ve been training for 15 years
|
| Get ready 'cause I don’t care
|
| Where will we rest when all our races have been run?
|
| It seems our focus had been skewed since we begun
|
| No time to go back and question all those things we did
|
| We’re falling behind in this race, now pay attention, kid
|
| Wake up, wake up
|
| I’m comin' for you
|
| Closer, closer with each stride
|
| All the hurdles in my way
|
| Are cleared with precision and pride
|
| I hope you got a good night’s sleep
|
| The starter blocks are on the track
|
| Well, I’ve been runnin', I’ve been runnin'
|
| Well, I’ve been training for 50 years
|
| I ain’t ever coming back
|
| There are many people in my life that I don’t know
|
| It’s hard to tell the difference, who’s a friend and who’s a foe?
|
| Seems like I’ve been runnin' in circles, no one there to tell me «stop»
|
| Give me a destination and I’ll race you straight to the top
|
| First heat and we’re off
|
| Now there’s no turning back
|
| Traversing distance at great speed
|
| My feet are lifting off the track
|
| I hope you stretched your legs real good
|
| Everything is on the track
|
| Well, I’ve been runnin', I’ve been runnin'
|
| Well, I’ve been training for a hundred years
|
| I ain’t ever coming back |
