i came from behind and crossing the finish line

was informed that i had won

didn’t realize i was in a race, hadn’t changed my pace

and was amazed that an event was going on

a slight young man had a check in his hand, gave me the check and  placed a medal around my neck

a band played, people smiled and waved, didn’t know what to do so i waved back

they put me in a convertible car and proceeded to exhibit me through the streets

i ended up at city hall and the mayor gave me a call and he apologized for being sick

a woman in a nice suit, really liked her boots gave me the key to the city and a smooch

so i thought i was on my way to being king and damn if i didn’t wake up

guess it just goes to shows where our mind can go and hell, i don’t even drink

came from behind
