From the recording The Lavender Album
Lyrics
The Finish Line
When you reach the finish line
And you set a record time
Act like you’ve been there, act like you’ve been there before
When you cross the goal line
And you’re ready for prime time
Act like you’ve been there, act like you’ve been there before
Act like you’ve been there, act like you’ve been there before
I’m riding the bench, I can’t get into the game
I worked so hard but coach ain’t calling my name
I’ll lift ‘til they close the gym
I’ll live to help my team win
I’ll push and I’ll push on through the pain
When you reach the finish line
And you set a record time
Act like you’ve been there, act like you’ve been there before
When you cross the goal line
And you’re ready for prime time
Act like you’ve been there, act like you’ve been there before
Act like you’ve been there, act like you’ve been there
The end of the game, at last I’m getting my chance
They scream my name, the crowd goes nuts in the stands
And once I help my team win
We’ll dance ‘til they close the gym
We’ll chant ‘til we can’t still with the fans
Repeat Chorus
If you see it, you can be it
And if you know just what you want from life
Open up and take a bite
