Why They Run The Race

From the album Crooked Path

Song clip



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
