Back To The Races (Burlap) Live

My youth was a mess
Every day was a test
And I'd fail like a fool
Who'd just daydream in school
And now that I’m old
I look back on my past
Just me and my dad
Makin’ the best with what we had

Our two legs in one sack
We tried to sync up like that
But we’d mostly fall flat on our faces

Then go back back back to the races.

In a three legged race
The winner takes all
But the losers are left
With a sack made of burlap
There’s no time to nap
So condition yourself
And if you win you can fight
As to which one of you, gets the prize
But dad and I…
We…… were one
Close peas in our pod
Who had gotten the nod
From the god of good losers

And went back back back to the races
We’d go
Back back back to the races
We’d go
We’d go
We’d go
Back to the races

Now dad is long gone
And with the two legs I’m on
I’ve need to find me a way
To go it alone in this race

I’ve gone from kickin’ a can
To so close to the bucket
That I look back on this life
And I just say …………. I know this place

As I go back, back, back to the races
Back back back to the races
