Finish Line Lyrics

We raise a glass
take our nips and
"Won't you tell me
why you're lookin' so sad?"

"Man", he said
"I'm sacrificing everything
I'm dyin' for success
but I'm afraid

My time
is tickin' away
And I ain't got nothin' yet
Look at my face
My eyes are red
Got a bangin' head
and still no praise"

Only took a minute
The glass is dead
His eyes look rigid
"You want another shot?"
- I'm asking
"Got no time for jokes..."
- I'm laughin'

He's standin up -
we couldn't really talk
Phone's ringin'
while he checks the clock
"I gotta go"
he said
"Calls to make
and steps to take"

As he's leaving
one thought is on my mind:
"Why should one drink that fast
if he wanna get a taste of the wine?"

They say that you should know
the Finish Line
Do it while there's time
To cross the line

As I'm leavin'
his words ring in my ear
Sun sets - I can see it clear

There's a Finish Line
Just one time
For men of any kind
Of any mind

They say that you should know
the Finish Line
