Don't Take Me to the Racetrack lyrics

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 trenchcoat 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

You left a note for me to wait in the park

Two weeks have passed the leaves turn grey and dark

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

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

You're too romantic and so foolish 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
