Tough
of the track
with the wind
and the rain that's beating
down on your back
Your heart's
beating loud
and goes on getting louder
And goes on even more
till the sound
is ringing in your head
with every step you tread
and every breath you take
Determination makes
you run
Never stop
Gotta win
gotta run till you drop
Keep the pace
hold the race
Your mind is getting clearer
You're over halfway there
But the miles
they never seem to end
as if you're in a dream
not getting anywhere
It seems so futile
Run
on and on
Run
on and on
The loneliness
of the long distance runner
I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running
and win at all costs
I've got to keep going
be strong
Must be so determined
and push myself on
Run
over stiles
across fields
Turn to look at who's on your heels
Way ahead
of the field
the line is getting nearer
But do you want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch
Ideals are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race
It's all so futile
Run
on and on
Run
on and on
The loneliness
of the long distance runner
Run
on and on
Run
on and on
The loneliness
of the long distance runner
