Marathon Man lyrics - 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
