Well let me tell you a story about a man that's from Eugene
He ran both far and wide and he lived out his dream
He rode his feet all over the world I'll tell you what I mean
His parents called him Steve but the world called him Pre
Pre he was a front running man
You'd think he ran each race
Without any plan
He held every record all across this land
He started fast, he finished fast, that's how he ran
Bowerman said, “I'll make a champion of you”
That's just what he did before he was through
Pre ran for his country and fought the AAU
He always did the things that he said he would do
Go Pre
Go Pre
Go Pre
Go Pre Go
A dark and drizzly night on the roads of Oregon
A swerve a crash and Pre was gone as fast as he had come
Alone in that street he died without anyone
He'll be the first to heaven just fire that starting gun
