Don't Take Me To The Racetrack

Your mother told me that you don't live at home no more

Your mother told me that she don't like

The way I call you on the telephone

The old lady cursed the day that I was born

You never answer when I come by your door

Yet leave me messages I cannot ignore

For a light dance, we took some heavy steps, my dear

You wear my trench coat in the rain and disappear

Does the forecast say

Don't take me to the racetrack

'Cause I don't want to place or show

Don't take me to the racetrack

I'm not the jockey you think you know

So don't take me to the racetrack, to the racetrack

You left a note for me to wait in the park

Two weeks have passed, the leaves turn gray and dark

I'm confused at all the things you've said

There's no wall big enough for me to crash my head

ââ‚¬½You're too romantic and so foolishââ‚¬, she quipped

Every love story will have it's own script

Something strange at work with one's integrity

The way we bleed our hearts and hang on hopelessly

And the forecast says

Don't take me to the racetrack

'Cause I don't want to place or show

Don't take me to the racetrack

I'm not the jockey you think you know

So don't take me to the racetrack

Don't take me to the racetrack

Don't you take me to the racetrack

Here we go

Don't take me to the racetrack

I'm not the jockey you think you know

Don't take me to the racetrack

I know there's trouble down below

So don't take me to the racetrack

To the racetrack

Don't take me to the race

Don't take me to the racetrack
