Well, the song is about this guy that's in a race of some sort, but he's dead last the entier way, but the song tells how even though everyone else has crossed the finish line, he's still trying his hardest, and one of the lines said, "Even though he's already lost in his mind he's still in the game," or something like that. The only other thing about this song that I remember is that the line that is repeated the most is something like "He's still going the distance" and I kind of caught the title, as I heard it on the radio only once a couple months ago, but it was something like "Going the distance"

Any ideas?

No clue. Sorry.

Is the song Cake - Going the distance? Because i seached it on the internet and it seems to fit your description.

Lyrics:

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags goes up,
Churning and burning, they yern for the cup.

They deftly manouver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank,
Wreckless and wild they pour thru the turns,
Their prowless is podent and secretly stern.

As they speed thru the finish the flags go down.
The fans get up, and get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup,
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.

Yeah!

No trophy, no flowers, no flash bulbs, no wine.
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster truck force.
In his mind he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping time that her memories will fade,
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's figting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's figting and biting and riding on his horse!

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance...

I love that song!!!!

I heard it off a Balto fan vid

SOTW, it's called Going The Distance

That's it! Man, the lyrics match exactly to what I thought of, with the part about someone long ago leaving with the cup... BTW,I just saw the video of it, and it kind of went with Balto a little, except the part about the guy's girlfriend wishing for her memories of him to fade... I gotta get that song on my iPod when I get the chance.

Glad to be of asistance! (I know asistance is spelt wrong. I realy am a rubish speller.)
