They Just Keep Moving the Line

The field was bright with clover
I saw the finish sign
I started as a rover
And the victory was mine

I thought the race was over
But they just keep moving the line

Well, they cheered at my persistence
But prayed for my decline
The path of least resistance
Led to Hollywood and Vine

I tried to go the distance
But they just keep moving the line

I jumped all of the hurdles
To break out of the pack
Yes, I started on the outside
And then hit the inside track
I lapped the other horses
Back at the starting gate
Was ready on my mark
I got a set to hurry up and wait

So talent and ambition
Won me a chance to shine
I aced the big audition
But it's raining on cloud nine

Can't beat the competition
'Cause they just keep moving the line

I handled every corner
Each bump along the track
When I saw the ribbon
Well, there was no turning back
I won the photo finish
I stood to take the win
But before I got my trophy
Well, the race began again

So I've made friends with rejection
I've straightened out my spine
I'll change each imperfection
'Til it's time to drink the wine
I toast to resurrection

But they just keep moving the line
Please give me some direction
'Cause they just keep moving the line

They just keep moving the line
Moving the line
