| Song | Marathon Man |
| Artist | Eric Carmen |
| Album | Boats Against the Current |
| Lyrics：Eric Carmen Music：Eric Carmen | |
| Twenty years with my brain in a book | |
| Tryin' to find out who I am | |
| Endless nights and Olympian dreams | |
| Of a race I never ran | |
| Someone's callin' my name | |
| It's the crowd in the stands | |
| Don't know how I became | |
| What I suddenly am | |
| Marathon man, keep a-runnin' | |
| Marathon man, keep a-runnin' | |
| I've been searchin' so long | |
| But the answer is finally at hand | |
| I'm a marathon man | |
| Wind is gone and my head's in a haze | |
| But I must keep up the pace | |
| Got to think about strategy here | |
| If I hope to win the race | |
| Someone's callin' my name | |
| It's the crowd in the stands | |
| Concentrate on the pain | |
| Put my soul in command | |
| Marathon man, keep a-runnin' | |
| Marathon man, keep a-runnin' | |
| I've been searchin' so long | |
| But the answer is finally at hand | |
| I'm a marathon man | |
| Wasting my youth | |
| Chasing dreams, testing truth | |
| Taking turns being deceived | |
| And deceivin' | |
| Bound with a rope | |
| Made of heroes and hope | |
| Till I found nothin' left | |
| To believe in | |
| Marathon man, keep a-runnin' | |
| Marathon man, keep a-runnin' | |
| I've been searchin' so long | |
| But the answer is finally at hand | |
| I'm a marathon man |
