The Longest Run (Lyrics and Music by Steve Laurie: 1/8/08)

It started well but now it's stuck in the mud
This infatuation won't turn into love
Running when the bell rang
Came back like a boomerang
Guess we'll call it a loss

You jumped the gun, got lost in the fun but it's hard to last
The sprint was fun, but stamina rules in the longest run
The longest run, the longest run

It's hard to tell when you come out of the gate
Things look good when you're on your second date
Play by play's on hold
Colour man can't find no gold
Guess we'll call it a loss

You jumped the gun, got lost in the fun but it's hard to last
The sprint was fun, but stamina rules in the longest run
The longest run, the longest run

Another meet to greet your potential mate
A three legged race to the altar's gate
Came down to the wire
Game seven, overtime
You couldn't finish the play

You jumped the gun, got lost in the fun but it's hard to last
The sprint was fun, but stamina rules in the longest run
The longest run, the longest run
