Back to the Races (Burlap) Songtext
von Todd Burge

My youth was a mess
Every day was a test
And I′d fail like a fool
Who'd just daydream in school
And now that I′m old
I look back on my past
Just me and my dad
Makin' the best with what we had
With two legs in one sack
We seemed to sync up like that
But we'd always fall flat on our faces
Then we′d go back back back to the races


In a three legged race
The winner takes all
And the losers are left
With a sack made of burlap
There′s no time to nap
So condition yourself
And if you win you can fight
As to which one of you
Gets the prize
But dad and I
We were one
Close peas in our pod
Who had gotten the nod
From the god
Of good losers
And we'd go back back back to the races
We′d go
Back back back to the races
Back back to


Now dad is long gone
And with these two legs I'm on
I′ve got to find me a way
To go it alone in this race
I've gone from kickin′ the can
To so close to the bucket
That I look back on my life
And I say AHHH
I know this place
And I'll go back
Back
Back to the races
I'll go
Back back back to the races
I go, I′ll go
Back back back back to the races
Back
Back
Back
To
The races
