Did you ever have a dream that you were running? 
Where the ground is like a wheel beneath your feet? 
And no matter how you tried you just weren't moving 
In whatever race you're running you'd be beat? 
In whatever race you're running you'd be beat? 

They tell me I'm a loser 
I'm a hopeless freak 
I look kind of funny and my little legs are weak 
The wrong side of the blanket 
The wrong side of the track 
I hear the accusations when they talk behind my back 

All the money is on the favorite 
I don't get a second glance 
I'm not even in the running here with an outside chance 

And then I see your lovely face 
Stand up and I'm back in the race 
Nothing is going to stop me 
I wasn't born to fail 
I'm taking the inside rail 

All the odds against me 
In the two horse race 
If I stand up they push me back down flat on my face 
They tell me it's impossible 
It's just the way I'm bred 
And get these crazy notions right out of my head 

All the money's on the favorite 
I don't get a second glance 
I'm not even in the running here with an outside chance 

And then I see your lovely face 
Pay no attention to the odds I face 
I'm running from the outside 
I wasn't born to fail 
I'm taking the inside rail 

Last night I had a different dream 
I chased the moon's reflection in a running stream 
While all the stars in heaven 
Were standing there so still 
I just keep on running and I'm half way up the hill 

I see the crowd and the finish line 
I see the day when the prize is mine 
It maybe crazy the dream that I swear 
The clouds are all behind me 
The wind's in my hair 

And then I see your lovely face 
Pay no attention to the odds I face 
I'm running from the outside 
I wasn't born to fail 
I'm taking the inside rail
