HOLDIN'
ME BACK
I better make
a note
Seems to be easy to forget
The bet's getting high, and my odds are low
Our horse took a lick, and she's running slow
And
you're holdin' me back
Yeah you're holdin' me back
I count what we've got
And you count what we lack
Oh you're holdin' me back
Yeah you're holdin' me back
My money's all threw
And you can't leave the track
The
gates, they rushed hard. The wind followed close behind
Too fast for a view of something that's true to find
And the corners were tight, too tight to hold on
And so I will learn what not to pin dreams upon
And
you're holdin' me back
Yeah you're holdin' me back
I count what we've got
And you count what we lack
Oh you're holdin' me back
Yeah you're holdin' me back
You pull the queen, and I pull a jack
Oh
tender mare show me what you'll become
These stables aren't worth half of the purse you've won
And I wanna wait, I want to wait here for you
But I've got a race, I've got a race to get to
And
you're holdin' me back
Yeah you're holdin' me back
I count what we've got
And you count what we lack
Oh you're holdin' me back
Yeah you're holdin' me back
This losing is new
But I'm getting the knack
