Going for the Bronze

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
