I’m taking it slow, keeping the pace I’m only looking to place Never a loss, never a win Bronze metals hangin’ from my bed I’m running the gray 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 my licks, getting my stripes Everything in life comes with a price By a thread stay alive Make it happen in 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 missed ‘Cause they all seem trapped Hopelessly fighting over scraps But I won’t miss them when they’re gone (repeat) On my own Running out the one man marathon Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
