Barkley Run

Testo

[Verse 1] Joe and Brandon on the line, Talking miles and finish times. Joe said, "Race day, lace up tight," Brandon laughed, "Not with this knee tonight." He said, "I can't do it, man, This old joint won't make the plan." Still, the talk kept rolling on, Past the sweat and all night long. [Pre-Chorus] Then somebody said Tennessee, Where the wild ones go to see If their legs can pay the price, If their heart can hold on twice. [Chorus] Run it, run it, marathon! Hear that crowd sing on and on. Run it, run it, marathon! One more mile till the doubt is gone. (Keep on going) (Keep on going) [Verse 2] Barkley on the mountain side, One hundred thirty miles of grind. Off trail, rough, and hard to track, Sixty hours to make it back. Brandon shook his head and said, "No one’s ever finished it." Joe just grinned, "That’s why they try, That’s why legends come alive." [Pre-Chorus] Then Rudy leaned in with a smile, Took one joke and stretched it wild: "The only way you'll catch me runnin' Is if someone’s chasing me with a knife." [Chorus] Run it, run it, marathon! Hear that crowd sing on and on. Run it, run it, marathon! One more mile till the doubt is gone. (Keep on going) (Keep on going) [Bridge] Some chase glory, some chase fire, Some just want to climb a little higher. Some say no, and some say yes, Some just run to feel their best. But when the day gets hard and long, You find your breath and build a song. Feet on dirt and hearts in time, Everybody’s got their line. [Final Chorus] Run it, run it, marathon! Hear that crowd sing on and on. Run it, run it, marathon! One more mile till the doubt is gone. Run it, run it, marathon! Even slow still carries on. (Keep on going) (Keep on going)
