Betting on the Races - Chris Pureka

It’s like betting on the races

Fingers crossed for years

Am I like a beggar waiting?

Or do I really love to lose?

Oh, days gone driftless

Betting like we do

The nights are long…

Pull aside and let it go

The trapeze and the calling after

100 times and now you know

How to hold your breath under water…

Oh, wishing I could

Wishing I could have

Wishing I would

Cut it loose and let it go…

85 on 3

Shotgun on the dial, baby

This ain’t nothing but a lease

There’s no such thing as an endless highway…

Oh, wishing I could

Wishing I could have

Wishing I would

Cut it loose and let it go…

Cut it loose and let it go
