I'm taking it slow, keeping the pace I'm only looking to place Never a loss, never a win Bronze metals hang from my bed I'm running the grey matter laps Outta my mind on the outer track If I don't feel someone else will It's all downhill from here On my own Running out the one man marathon Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze Taken the licks, getting my stripes Everything in life comes with a price By a thread stay alive Make it happen with a third rate stride for the Runner up, runner up, runner up prize I'll take what I can get at the finish line
Drafting the pack in the blind All thoroughbreds in their prime Bound to show Running down this lonely road Forgoing the gold I'm going, going, going for the bronze I know there could be nothing more than this As there all pushing their limits I am left wondering what I miss Because they all seemed trapped Hopelessly fighting over scraps I won't miss them when they're gone I won't miss them when they're gone On my own Running out the one man marathon Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
