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
