Marathon Man

(eric carmen)



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



Someone's callin' my name

It's the crowd in the stands

Don't know how i became

What i suddenly am



Marathon man, keep a-runnin'

Marathon man, keep a-runnin'

I've been searchin' so long

But the answer is finally at hand

I'm a marathon man



Wind is gone and my head's in a haze

But i must keep up the pace

Got to think about strategy here

If i hope to win the race



Someone's callin' my name

It's the crowd in the stands

Concentrate on the pain

Put my soul in command



Marathon man, keep a-runnin'

Marathon man, keep a-runnin'

I've been searchin' so long

But the answer is finally at hand

I'm 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'

I've been searchin' so long

But the answer is finally at hand

I'm a marathon man
