"Derby Raceway" lyrics

"Derby Raceway"

I was born as a hick down the derby at the race car track
I was born as a TV dinner, the lazy man's crack
I was born in the 40's when they moon suited up a man
To float around in space and be happy he never had to land

We were drinking whiskey on a Sunday afternoon
Rosied up your cheeks, then you took me to your room
Told me all the things that I outta know that you'd been through
Told me if you had the chance, if you found a heart like mine, it's mine you'd choose

I was born in the disco era some ways back
I was born in the middle of the storm when Mikey T was snorting rack
I was born in the desert when John Wayne was killed
Oh man the next gunslinger up he had some big old boots to fill

We were drinking whiskey on a Sunday afternoon
Rosied up your cheeks, then you took me to your room
Told me all the things that I outta know that you'd been through
Told me if you had the chance, if you found a heart like mine, it's mine you'd choose

We were drinking whiskey on a Sunday afternoon
Rosied up your cheeks, then you took me to your room
Told me all the things that I outta know that you'd been through
Told me if you had the chance, if you found a heart like mine, it's mine you'd choose
