Going for the Bronze Lyrics

I'm taking it slow, keeping the pace
I'm only looking to place
Never a loss, never a win
Bronze medals hanging from my bed
I'm running the gray matter laps
Out of my mind on the outer track
If I don't feel someone else will
It is all downhill from here

On my own
Running down the one man marathon
Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze

Taking the licks, getting my stripes
Everything in life comes with a price
By a thread stay alive
Make it happen in 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 they're all pushing their limits
I am left wondering what I miss
Beause they all seem 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 down the young man's marathon
Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
