Fast Track for a Slow Horse 11/22
It was a fast track, for a slow horse
Put my money down, but he came up short
It was an inside tip, on a sure thing
Laid down my bet, ran like a bird with a broken wing
All I need is a little hope, and a little bit of luck
When my horse comes in, that’s more than enough, more than enough

We work the dirty jobs, we make the tough calls
Sometimes we punch the clock, sometimes we punch the wall
There’s a chestnut filly in the third race, we’ll be right there with her every step of the way
She’s gonna win, take us far away from the troubles of these days
All we need is a little hope, and a little bit of luck
When our horse comes in, that’s more than enough, more than enough

She thinks back to the days when she was a young girl
And all of her dreams with horses were filled
Now her world is the backstretch, and maybe this year
She’ll have a fast horse, and she’ll hear the crowd as it cheers, maybe shed a few tears

The groom brushes her horse, his coat shines in the sun
She walks him in a circle, tells him she knows he can get it done
The trainer needs a winner, a little help to pay the bills
The jockey’s feeling alright, he can win this war of wills
All they need is a little hope, and a little bit of luck
When their horse comes in, that’s more than enough, more than enough
