Song Description

My uncle was an amazing jockey back in the day. He past away recently and I wrote this for my aunt.

Lyrics

i started the car
found a race on the dail

got half way to home
past the pier just a mile

when the needle fell
all the way down

i'm empty cause your not around

ths sure ain't kentucky cause i'm here all alone

dustin' the trophies, cleanin' your boat

so i'll pack up your pole and your boots

cause you've got bigger things to do

Chorus Saddle that horse

run him with pride

the winners not scared to pass us all by

we're not quite as fast as you

but i know that we'll see you real soon

wave from the circle, we'll cheer from the stands

take a ride through the beach

leave prints in the sand

now theres horseshoes in heaven

you were crazy as hell
but at least you were real

you were willie shoemaker with pat day appeal

and they can say you're not runnin' anymore

you just found yourself a peaceful shore

Chorus

Bridge Don't wait up for me

just cross that line

Don't wait up for me

Tears were made to dry

And I'll be alright

just as long as i know where you are

Chorus
