Why They Run The Race
From the album Crooked Path
Why They Run the Race �2005 Michael Jerling Well it�s Boomtown or Bust In the dollar we trust. but that�s nothin� new Now he thinks he�s Diamond Jim And the odds don�t apply to him The wind on your shoulders And a feeling in your gut That this time it will be different That this time you�ll double up And the last shall be first And the favorite shall place And that�s why they run the race Well you count me out �cause you won�t see There�s a winner�s heart inside of me If this wheel of fate would just stand still If these legs could fly and they will The wind on my shoulders And a feeling in my blood That this time it will be different That this time I�ll make a run And the last shall be first With the sun bright in my face And that�s why they run the race Now it�s Boomtown or Bust In the dollar we trust, but that�s nothin� new If this wheel of fate could just stand still If these streets could sing and they will The wind on your shoulders And a feeling in your gut That this time it will be different That this time you�ll make the cut And the last shall be first With the sun bright in your face And that�s why they run And that�s why they run And that�s why they run the race
