[Verse 1]
Money's been a wise buck this year
Now there's things in life that you've always feared
There ain't a use to pouting around
Singing 'woe is me' until you're six feet down
Always following the same old tracks
Time to break off and cut a new path
Don't put down these words I say
It takes blood and sweat to find a new way

[Chorus]
You're coming on strong
I know your night's been long
But I can see you coming around the bend
And kicking until the end
Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
Proving them wrong
Coming on strong

[Verse 2]
Every miss is a payment made
To a debt of dues that we all must pay
Your empty coffers aren't a sign
That you haven't saved for a whole lifetime
And you can go out swingin' to a cold dark grave
They can never say that you didn't live brave
Born to nothing but pain and strain
Leave with grit fixed to your name
[Chorus]
You're coming on strong
I know your night's been long
But I can see you coming around the bend
And kicking until the end
Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
Proving them wrong
Coming on strong

[Chorus]
You're coming on strong
I know your night's been long
But I can see you coming around the bend
Oh and kicking until the end
Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
Proving them wrong
Coming on strong
Proving them wrong
Coming on strong
