Setbacks and Comebacks Lyrics

Week one I'm feelin' bold

New gear bought my goals are gold

Gonna train smart gonna train strong

What could possibly go wrong?

Week five the miles climb

Motivation? Hard to find

Supposed to run but here's the thing—

Netflix called and I said "King "

Oh the road ain't smooth the miles ain't free

Setbacks come for you and me

But we get up we push on through

'Cause runners rise—that's what we do

Week eight my knee says "Nope "

Physio's talkin' bands and hope

Foam rollin' hurts I grit my teeth

Why's my IT band fightin' me?

Week twelve went out last night

One beer turned to "Yeah alright "

Alarm went off I hit snooze twice

Now my long run's payin' the price

Oh the road ain't smooth the miles ain't free

Setbacks come for you and me

But we get up we push on through

'Cause runners rise—that's what we do

Doubt in my mind pain in my feet

One bad run I feel defeat

Runner's knee a twisted toe

Blisters where they shouldn't grow

Legs feel heavy mind's a mess

Can I do this? I second-guess

But then my crew says "One more mile "

They pull me up I start to smile

Week eighteen I see it clear

The start line's close the goal is near

Every stumble every fall

Made me stronger through it all

Oh the road ain't smooth the miles ain't free

Setbacks come for you and me

But we get up we push on through

'Cause runners rise—that's what we do

One last mile one last stride

Marathon strong we run with pride

Setbacks hit but we don't fall

We rise again—we've conquered all
