[Intro]
\nHey! Hey!
\nOne step ahead
\nTwo steps behind
\nYou got the advantage
\nI’ve got the time!<\/p>\n

Hey! Hey!<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nYou got the map
\nI got the road
\nYou got the answer
\nI got the code <\/p>\n

You may have started
\nA little ahead
\nBut I’m still moving
\nAnd I’m not dead!<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nObviously…
\n(You have a leg up on me) <\/p>\n

Naturally…
\n(I’ll strive to arrive)
\n… and thrive! <\/p>\n

Back up on the horse…
\n(Of course!) <\/p>\n

Now, let’s ride
\n(Ride, ride, ride)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nYou got the money
\nI got the nerve
\nYou got the spotlight
\nI’ve got the curve <\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nObviously…
\n(You have a leg up on me) <\/p>\n

Naturally…
\n(I’ll strive to arrive)
\n… and thrive! <\/p>\n

Back up on the horse…
\n(Of course!) <\/p>\n

Now, let’s ride
\n(Ride, ride, ride)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOne leg up!
\n(Two feet down!)
\nPick yourself up!
\n(Won’t stick around!) <\/p>\n

One more try!
\n(Reach that sky!)
\nNo looking back!
\n(No asking why!) <\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nObviously…
\n(Obviously!)
\nNaturally…
\n(Naturally!)<\/p>\n

I might be behind
\nBut I’m changing my view
\nI’ve got a leg up
\nWhen I learn from you!<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nObviously…
\n(You have a leg up on me) <\/p>\n

Naturally…
\n(I’ll strive to arrive)
\n… and thrive! <\/p>\n

Back up on the horse…
\n(Of course!) <\/p>\n

Now, let’s ride
\n(Ride, ride, ride)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nObviously…
\n(You have a leg up on me) <\/p>\n

Naturally…
\n(I’ll strive to arrive)
\n… and thrive! <\/p>\n

Back up on the horse…
\n(Of course!) <\/p>\n

Now, let’s ride!
\n(Ride, ride, ride!)<\/p>\n

One step ahead
\nOr one step behind
\nThere’s always a way
\nIf you make up your mind <\/p>\n

Back up on the horse…
\n(Of course!)<\/p>\n

Now, let’s ride!<\/p>\n

Ride! Ride! Ride!<\/p>\n

… and thrive!<\/p>\n

[Silence]<\/p>\n

[End]<\/p>\n
