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 holding me back; Yeah, you're holding me back. I count what we've got, and you count what we lack. And you're hoding me back; Yeah, you're holding me back. My money's all through, and you can't leave the track. The gates, they rushed hard; The wind followed close behind Too fast to review, something that's true to find. And the corners were tied too tight to hold on; And so I will learn what not to pin dreams upon. And you're holding me back; Yeah, you're holding me back. I count what we've got, and you count what we lack. Oh, you're holding me back; Yeah, you're holding me back. You pull the queen, and I pull the jack. Oh [unsure; "tender man"?], show me what you've become These stables aren't worth half of the purse you've won. And I want to 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 hoding me back; Yeah, you're holding me back. I count what we've got, and you count what we lack. Oh, you're holding me back; Yeah, you're holding me back. This losing is new, but I'm getting the knack. This losing is new, but I'm getting the knack.
