One Horse Race

Am i the only one here out of place

Riding the wrong way in a one horse race

They’ll ride themselves into an early grave

That’s just the way it goes

It’s so rare that it’s win and not lose

Life is dealing you bruise after bruise

Or is that just another weak excuse

For all the folds you made

If you’re gonna go and roll that dice

Don’t expect a real fair fight

And if you’re gonna play the game

You might that’s all in vane

If another winner takes it all

Pride comes right before the fall

So when you’re feeling low,

I hope that you know,

that’s just the way that it goes

Take another step into the light

It’s a risk but the gold is in sight

Play it safe and have nothing to show

That’s just the way it goes

Instead you’re gonna step up to the line

Put your life in your hands one more time

Then you’re gonna feel the highs, the lows,

the prize, exposed, the signs, you know it’s true

If you’re gonna go and roll that dice

Don’t expect a real fair fight

And if you’re gonna play the game

You might that’s all in vane

If another winner takes it all

Pride comes right before the fall

So when you’re feeling low,

I hope that you know,

that’s just the way that it goes
