Steeplechase

Lyrics

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
