I hear those horses runnin
I hear all the men a shoutin, don't you, don't you
I hear the pistol firin'
I see the flags a flyin, don't you, don't you
Out of the gate they're headin west
I think my horse might be the best one don't you
Bookie's had him six to one
But I know that horse can really run now don't you
I don't often feel this way
I think it's my lucky day now don't you
My baby cried, Don't go to the track
I think she'll smile when I get back now don't you
He's on the outside and he's gainin
I see every nerve a strainin don't you
I hear my heart a poundin
I like the way it's soundin don't you
Think this time I picked a winner
Think I'll eat a steak for dinner don't you
Your mare's lookin mighty squirrel
I see my gelding's passed the sorrel don't you
Takin the lead he's out of sight
I'd say that rider's ridin right now don't you
Around the corner in the stretch
I think I'll go collect my bets now don't you
I'm not much of gamblin man
But I'll take my winnings when I can now don't you
Take my baby on the town tonight
I think we'll be livin right now don't you
Be broke again tomorrow morn
That's when I read my racin form now don't you
I hear all the men a shoutin, don't you, don't you
I hear the pistol firin'
I see the flags a flyin, don't you, don't you
Out of the gate they're headin west
I think my horse might be the best one don't you
Bookie's had him six to one
But I know that horse can really run now don't you
I don't often feel this way
I think it's my lucky day now don't you
My baby cried, Don't go to the track
I think she'll smile when I get back now don't you
He's on the outside and he's gainin
I see every nerve a strainin don't you
I hear my heart a poundin
I like the way it's soundin don't you
