Derby Raceway

I was born as a hick down the derby at the racecar track
I was born as a TV dinner, the lazy man's crack
I was born in the 40s, 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
