Texty: Eric Carmen. Boats Against The Current. Marathon Man.

Twenty years with my brain in a book
Tryin to find out who I am
Endless nights and olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran

Someones callin my name
Its the crowd in the stands
Dont know how I became
What I suddenly am

Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Ive been searchin so long
But the answer is finally at hand
Im a marathon man

Wind is gone and my heads in a haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
If I hope to win the race

Someones callin my name
Its the crowd in the stands
Concentrate on the pain
Put my soul in command

Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Ive been searchin so long
But the answer is finally at hand
Im a marathon man

Wasting my youth
Chasing dreams, testing truth
Taking turns being deceived
And deceivin
Bound with a rope
Made of heroes and hope
Till I found nothin left
To believe in

Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Ive been searchin so long
But the answer is finally at hand
Im a marathon man
