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

And then victory was mine
I thought the race was over
But they just keep moving the line


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
I started on the outside
And then hit the inside track


I left the other fillies
Back at the starting gate

Was ready, on my mark, I got to set
To hurry up and wait


So talent and ambition
Won me a chance to shine
I aced the big audition

But it's rainin' on Cloud Nine
Can't beat the competition
'Cause they just keep moving the line


I handled every corner
Each bump along the track

And when I saw the ribbon, well
There was no turning back


I won the photo finish
I posed for all the men
But before I got my trophy

Well, the race began again

So I made friends with rejection

I've straightened up my spine!
I'll change each imperfection
Till it's time to drink the wine!

I'd toast to resurrection
But they just keep moving the line!


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