G8R Boi
Canada has given the United States many things. That's because Canadians are naturally generous. For instance: Peter Jennings, Dan Aykroyd, Celine Dion, Wayne Gretzky, France Jolie. And Canadians are so generous, they only want Wayne Gretzky back. We can keep the rest. Including Avril Lavigne.
Avril wrote a song, nay, epic poetry that speaks to the fragrant heart of ultrarunning. No kidding. Here it is. I'm sure you may see yourselve[s] in this dainty ballad.
PS All of you out there with 15 year old daughters can skip the pop-quiz at the end.
G8R Boi
[with insincere apologies to Avril Lavigne]He was a trail-boy, she was, like, a 10k girl
Can I, like, make it any more obvious?
He was a trail punk, she did road 10ks
Like, What more can I say?
He'd like to do her, she'd never tell,
secretly she wanted his trail-jerky self as well.
But all of her friends hiked up their tights
They had a problem with his Petzl Lights.
He was a gaiter boy, she said "see you later boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was in 10ks
She needed to come back down to trail dirt
5 years from now, she sits at home,
Stairmaster to heaven, she's all alone
She turns on tv, guess who she sees?
Gaiter Boy, rockin' up at the old LT.
She calls up her friends, they already know,
and they've all got pacers at the WS100 show
She tags along, stands in the crowd
looks up the shorts that she turned down
He was a gaiter boy, she said "see you later boy"
Mega-miles not good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on Powerbars
Does her pretty face grok that trail dirt?
He was a gaiter boy, she said "see you later boy"
Mega-miles not good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on Powerbars
Does her pretty face grok that trail dirt?
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
Predawn trails-more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see,
see the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He was a trail-boy, she was, like, a 10k girl
Can I, like, make it any more obvious?
We are in love, haven't you heard,
how we rock each others world?
I'm with the gaiter boy, I said "see you later boy"
I'll be the finish-line after the n0Rm-show
I'll be at the trail-head singing the song we wrote
about a 10k girl he used to know
I'm with the gaiter boy, I said "see you later boy"
I'll be the finish-line after the n0Rm-show
I'll be at the trail-head singing the song we wrote
about a 10k girl he used to know
