Lyrics

IRONMAN

Words and Music by - Avi Hoffman

I'll keep on goin' - Never stop
I'll keep on runnin' till I drop
Nothin' else matters -
'cept this race I've got to run
All I hear is that starting gun

The water is cold and the lines on the road
Are just blurrin', I've got to be - IRONMAN
No one can pass me, I've got to outlast
All the rest, then I'll get to be - IRONMAN

It seems like this race will never end
Get me around just one more bend
I feel like I'm flyin' and I can't see anymore
I'm in an endless corridor

The water is cold and the lines on the road
Are just blurrin', I've got to be - IRONMAN
No one can pass me, I've got to outlast
All the rest, then I'll get to be -

There was a fire, out of control, burnin' in my head
When it went out, I just couldn't believe
That I wasn't dead -
Then I made up my mind, that no matter how hard
I'd be cryin' -
That I would take part in the race
That would make me a man of IRON - of IRON

C'mon legs just take me one more mile
Look at me now, You'll see me smile
I can't feel my body, 'cause I'm feelin' so much pain
I feel like singin' in the rain

The water is cold and the lines on the road
Are just blurrin', I've got to be - IRONMAN
No one can pass me, I've got to outlast
All the rest, then I'll get to be - IRONMAN
The water is cold and the lines on the road
Are just blurrin', I've got to be - IRONMAN
