We all have our own goals in life but we still have to run in the rat race before we cross our own finish lines.

Story behind the song
Laid down a quick progression and built the song around it.
Lyrics
Well my feet have both been runnin' ever since they hit the ground.I'll be runnin' in this rat race 'till I'm six feet underground.If they tell you that it's free ya'll well you know that it's a lie.No matter what it is,you know you've got to pay.If they keep on stealin' cookies when they're s'posed to mind the store.Eight years is enough.Take away the cookie jar.I've been runnin' in my own race.I ain't tryin' to pass no one.I'm just tryin' to get these bones to cross the finish line.When the cold grim reaper comes a knockin' on my door,he'll just have to wait 'till I cross the finish line.Well my feet have both been runnin' ever since they hit the ground.I'll be runnin' in this rat race 'till I'm six feet underground.I'm so tired of this slow me down spinnin' 'round rat race.....run rat run
