Well in all the fine old papers, they say this one can't lose
But five, three minutes later, you're drowning in your shoes
From Lexington, Kentucky to the Carolina shore
This filly runs like lightning, she's never lost before
Race is over, race is through
Come tomorrow morning, winner's red is due
Baby, it ain't funny, got the racetrack blues
ย
Well, she leaves the starting gate like a bullet from a gun
The jockey whipped her once, just to show he's having fun
Around the curve and turn, make a move, start to burn
I heard somebody say, "You should've seen her yesterday"
Race is over, race is through
Come tomorrow morning, winner's red is due
Baby, it ain't funny, got the racetrack blues
ย
Well, I missed the daily double, but I got my nightly fill
Sick of all this trouble, got to swallow a bitter pill
I hear the bugle call and my heart began to race
Put a hundred down just to win show or place
Race is over, race is through
Come tomorrow morning, winner's red is due
Baby, it ain't funny, got the racetrack blues
ย
Well, I knew I was in trouble at the Sarasota Spring
Never won the trifecta, never feeling like a king
Rolling in the Del Mar, rocking Hollywood Park
Money kept on burning, kept on burning through the dark
Race is over, race is through
Come tomorrow morning, winner's red is due
Baby, it ain't funny, got the racetrack blues
