My shoes are old, my will is strong. My duct tape is the best.
My shirt is set, my mind is too, I'll get a good night's rest.
And when the starting gun is fired, and all us runners go.
I'll do my darndest to keep up and not be very slow.
Then, when the race is over and the mud is washed away.
I'll cheer the winners and console the rest and call it a dang good day!!!!.
