He's got the look of eagles, all bets are in
His odds are low and this he knows
He needs a quick strip, push off the post
Sweat on his brow, an anxious crowd
Hooves on the dirt with a tree-to-one
A final ride to show his worth
One by one, that shake 'em up, another pony down
One by one, he takes the lead to please a screaming crowd
Fast out the gate, he ain't stopping
Move out the way, he's the king pin
King pin
He's in the money now
King pin
He's in the money now
He rode this race and held his place in the run (king pin)
The gates are down, they're on the ground
They start in three, two, one, go!
Around the turn he feels the burn of the sun (king pin)
The odds are lost, all bets are off
They start in three, two, one, go!

He used to be a pauper in the sport of kings
Thes time is now, the final round
He's got his head down to the triple crown
They start to stare, he's catching air
He pulls ahead, he's on a dead end
Through the final bend
One by one, that shake 'em up, another pony down
One by one, he takes the lead to please a screaming crowd
Fast out the gate, he ain't stopping
Move out the way, he's the king pin

Lay your money down
This is the sound of fame and fortune
Lay your money down
This is the crown that frames the horsemen
Down the stretch with nothing left
