pointing fingers and making bets at the horse track - but allegorical for putting spirit josh on the line
lyrics
TO THE RACE
thursday, get paid
pay my brother back
i don't care i'll make it back
on saturdays track
some say knock 'em dead,
others say break a leg
what difference does it make?
i gamble it away
are you counting on me,
and betting i might win?
if i bring home the money,
can i take you home again?
got all twisted up
and came up short as hell
spent our anniversary
on a single bed motel
visions of you
run like ghosts through this town
i thought i saw you
with your hand on someone new
hanging off the guardrail
with a blank look on your mouth
you're out of pocket,
shot your own best interest down
because that's your past life
now you're somebody else
