Goal
Hip hip hooray, it happened today
I finally made it to goal
After days bombing out, plagued by self doubt
It’s certainly good for the soul
After releasing from tow, I got really low
And was staring at a bomb out score
Circle in zero sink, take some time just to think
Then finally jag a good core
Up and away, this could be my day
So I race along on down the line
Tonight I’ll get pissed, but right now I need lift
Well everything’s going just fine
But halfway about, my luck just runs out
Once more I am getting real low
So in zero sink, I stop and I think
Damn it I’m going too slow
It seems that my plan, of being top man
Has just gone right out the back door
With a smile on my face, I accept with good grace
The fact I won’t win anymore
Because flying XC, is still fun for me
Though many would think me quite mad
To lose or to win, is not really the thing
And if you don’t get it that’s sad
Well over the line, doing a hundred and nine
Kilometres I’m talking not miles
Pull up from the ground, and crank it around
Into goal for a beer and a smile
