Just a small kid
Quiet and unseen
Though I wanted
Didn't make it to the team
At school they'd tell me
You're too short for sport
Bloody rugby
And games of that sort
But I could run!
I could run!
Dog in race trap
Wound up little spring
Want to start laps
Got to do my thing
These teens won't play
There's screens and there's strife
Got to get away
From chores and my life
Run! (I want to)
Run! (I got to)
Run! (I need to)
Want to, got to, need to run!
Take your tech gym
Machines don't appeal
Ain't even stepped in
Those hamster wheels
I stride to the sticks
With fast upbeat hits
Got to get a fix
I'm a muddy wind addict
Run! (I want to)
Run! (I got to)
Run! (I need to)
Want to, got to, need to run!
Best be sweating
Every Saturday
Beats regretting
What you drank Friday
Don't care about no race
Or if you beat me
It's all about my pace
My own PB
My knees are kaput
I'm told get a bike
Don't want a sore butt
Or padded tights
Feel the need to share
My stats my splits
But I bet you don't care
It would bore you to bits
Run! (I want to)
Run! (I got to)
Run! (I need to)
Want to, got to, need to run!
Want to, got to, need to run!
Run! (I want to)
Run! (I got to)
Run! (I need to)
Want to, got to, need to run!
I got to run!
Just run!
Run!
Run!
Run!
Run!
