Tony's takin' his time, runnin' around the world...three years! Please check him out at: theworldjog.com-blog if you have not done so already... I told Tony I'd write him a song-an anthem, it turns out-it's the least I can do. Tony, we're hoping that everyone the world 'round hear about you comin' and gets in touch through theworldjog and puts you up for the night with a fat steak! Carry on!
Lyrics:
The Irishman Upon Your Floor
Across the miles and years he's run
Setting records in setting suns
10 marathons in forty-eight (hrs!)
450 K in three days straight
The ultramarathoner's curse
If you don't run then you feel worse
If Tony could, he would retire
But the travelin' bug set him on fire
Chorus:
From Dublin off to Newfoundland
His magic letter in his hand
He is the Buddha in disguise
Circlin' the world, no compromise
The Irishman upon your floor
Sun's not quite up, the mornin's stark
This ain't a stroll out through the park
The trip goes on, and on and on
At fifty K a day...
His focus is beyond belief
Each measured mile some small relief
Each step is gold through wind and cold
He's steady on his way
Tony, where'r' you travelin' now?
We know you'll labor on somehow
We've sent the word ahead of you
To tell them that you're passin' through
Tony, where you travelin' now?
Nirvana's path is straight and true
Faithful friend she's been to you
Across the miles past curious smiles
You both go floating by
The WorldJog's a dynasty
Gathering friends from A-to-Z
Your family grows out on the road
We're with you every mile
Tony where the **** you been?
We're dyin' to hear from you again
The weather's chasing at your heels
Where will you find your next hot meal?
Tony, where the **** you been?
Final Chorus:
Tony where the **** you been?
We're dyin' to hear from you again
We've sent the word on up ahead
That you're much obliged for any bed
The Irishman upon your floor(less)
