Cross Country - Stray

Run for miles and miles, stopping for a moment\nOthers pass me by, looking fit and healthy\nI’ll take a short cut on the cross-country\nMake sure the mud don’t make my clothes dirty\nI’ll take my time cos there’s no need to hurry\nI’m taking my time\nRun a half a mile, stopping for a breather\nThink about a beer, oh my imagination\nI’ll take a short cut on the cross-country\nMake sure the mud don’t make my clothes dirty\nI’ll take my time 'cos there’s no need to hurry\nI’m taking my time\nSure got to get cross-country\nRun another mile, rain has started pouring\nHow can I stay dry? I’m sure to think of something\nI’ll take a short cut on the cross-country\nMake sure the mud don’t make my clothes dirty\nI’ll take my time 'cos there’s no need to hurry\nI’m taking my time\nI’ve never been a smoker, don’t wanna be a choker\nFeeling sick and laying helpless on the floor\nI’ve never been a boozer, don’t wanna be a loser\nYou know I 'take it easy' that’s for sure\nThere’s the finishing line, further in the distance\nStare them in the eye, try and look convincing\nI’ll take a short cut on the cross-country\nMake sure the mud don’t make my clothes dirty\nI’ll take my time cos there’s no need to hurry\nI’m taking my time
