E
When you're born it's a beautiful thing
E
They put a pacifier in your mouth
E
You crawl around naked on the kitchen floor
E
And your mom and daddy feel so proud
Chorus:
A
Everybody looks good at the starting line
D B7
Get on your mark, get ready but you better keep this in mind
A
You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun
D B7
But going the distance is the hard part son
A E A
Everybody looks good at the starting line
You fall in love, you tie the knot
You're on a permanent honeymoon
But twenty years later when the thrill is gone
Will she still be in love with you
Chorus
Yeah, yeah, move out
Life is a race we've all got to run
So stand up and toe the line
I wish that I could say it was all down hill
But there are mountains we've got to climb
Chorus
Chorus
D
Sing it one more time
A E A
Everybody looks good at the starting line
Looks good, looks good at the starting line
