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
