Tom Morris' Sudden Huff

Lyrics

[Verse]
Tom Morris hit the gym with a grin wide as the sky
Never wheezed before a day never thought he’d have to try
He met Gabe Mercep there muscles rippling with a gleam
Katherine's heat turned the gym into a sweat-steamed dream

[Verse 2]
Push-ups turned to mountains sit-ups felt like the sea
Gabe said "Come on mate don’t stop you’ve got to follow me"
Tom’s lungs betrayed him gasping like they'd never sung
And for the first time ever he reached for something sprung

[Chorus]
Puffer in his hand cloudy rescue in the air
Tom took a mighty breath and found relief right there
From zero to a hero yet sweating through his grin
Tom Morris never knew he’d puff his way to win

[Verse 3]
The weight bench stared him down as he reloaded breath
Gabe said "Lift with your soul not till there's nothing left"
Tom shook his head and chuckled between the heaves
“Mate I’ll beat this asthma if it’s the last thing I achieve”

[Bridge]
Out in Katherine’s heat gear spinning like the sun
Tom picked up the barbell each repetition won
No blue inhaler could stop the fire in his chest
He laughed with Gabe and swore “I’ll be the freakin’ best”

[Chorus]
Puffer in his hand cloudy rescue in the air
Tom took a mighty breath and found relief right there
From zero to a hero yet sweating through his grin
Tom Morris never knew he’d puff his way to win
