Laps Beyond Yesterday

Used to own the autumn trails

Wind right at my back

Joey on the lead line

Flying round the track

Then Jake put on his running shoes

Started putting in the time

Now he's crossing over

That old horizon line (yeah,

he's pulling away)

Jake is running sections

in the morning light

Leaving me behind,

fading out of sight

He's leading by a mile

while I'm standing still

Watching him conquer

that final hill

I'm skipping training sessions

Just watching from the gate

He's checking split times

Accepting his fate

Jake is running sections

in the morning light

Leaving me behind,

fading out of sight

He's leading by a mile

while I'm standing still Watching him conquer that final hill

Jake's running sections...

And Joey's standing still...

(oh-oh, he's gone)
