XC by Adam Ford (US) Lyrics
[Intro: Adam, Dee-Loo, Adam & Dee-Loo]
Feeling tired, heavy breathing (breathing)
Sweat got in my eye, I’m having trouble seeing (seeing)
Passed a few packs, what a feeling (feeling)
See them catching up I better get to fleeing
Chest burning, but I’m so close
Bout a K left, so I can’t slow
See a runner, he got the same clothes
Time to pace yeah, you know how this goes
[Chorus: Adam]
Feeling tired, heavy breathing
Sweat got in my eye, I’m having trouble seeing
Passed a few packs, what a feeling
See them catching up I better get to speeding
Chest burning, but I’m so close
Bout a K left, so I can’t slow
See a runnеr, he got the same clothеs
Time to pace yeah, you know how this goes
[Verse 1: Adam]
Such a nervous wreck, my legs are shaking
Too much pasta last night, my stomach’s quaking
Getting top 5, hope that’s my ranking
Know it’s real cold, but my spirit ain’t breaking
My teammate on the bus, he was getting cocky
Back at DCLs, he was really rocky
Don’t know why he thinks he’s top on the team
Heard he’s skipping track and going straight to hockey
Back at Franklin, there was a big hill
Saw my friend fall, yeah he took a big spill
Getting back up, what a strong will
At the end when he finished, it was such a thrill
[Chorus: Dee-Loo]
My lungs are aching, all this heavy breathing
Sweat in my eye, I’m having trouble seeing
Passed a few packs, what a feeling
See them catching up, better keep speeding
Chest burning, but I’m so close
Bout a K left, so I can’t slow
See a runner, he got the same clothes
Time to pace yeah, you know how this goes
[Verse 2: Dee-Loo]
Feeling all this pain, but still keeping up the pace
Only 50 meters left in the race
Teammate wheezing, saw his beet-red face
Went and passed him, I finished fourth place
Every meet, you know it’s a good time
Checking how we did, it’s already online
Check the merch tent, see what we can buy
Charging fifty for a shirt, now that's a real crime
On the bus ride, yeah we’re going home
Teammates in the back, singing Country Road
Other folks nodding off or just in their zone
When you’re run cross country, you’re never alone
[Chorus: Dee-Loo, Adam, Dee-Loo & Adam]
My lungs are aching, all this heavy breathing
Sweat in my eye, I’m having trouble seeing
Passed a few packs, what a feeling
See them catching up I better get to speeding
Chest burning, but I’m so close
Bout a K left, so I can’t slow
See a runner, he got the same clothes
Time to pace yeah, you know how this goes
Feeling tired, heavy breathing (breathing)
Sweat got in my eye, I’m having trouble seeing (seeing)
Passed a few packs, what a feeling (feeling)
See them catching up I better get to fleeing
Chest burning, but I’m so close
Bout a K left, so I can’t slow
See a runner, he got the same clothes
Time to pace yeah, you know how this goes
[Chorus: Adam]
Feeling tired, heavy breathing
Sweat got in my eye, I’m having trouble seeing
Passed a few packs, what a feeling
See them catching up I better get to speeding
Chest burning, but I’m so close
Bout a K left, so I can’t slow
