Eric Carmen - Marathon Man lyrics

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
