RACETRACK BLUES
(David Olney/Hardball Music)

I don't need no racetrack just to watch my pony,
Watch my pony, I mean, see her run.
I don't need no racetrack just to watch my pony run.
But I don't need no million dollars, people, to have my fun.

Well the doctor said to slow down, he said, "Please slow down, 'cause I'd,
Hate to see you, I mean, fall down dead."
Yeah, the Doctor said to slow down 'cause he'd hate to see me fall down dead.
Well, he might know my body but he sure don't know my head.

Not much at looks, she never cooks,
People, she can move me like a dozen dirty books.
I don't care what people say, I'm wild about my gal.
Well, she my good-time mama, I'm a true-blue pal, yes I am.

Some likes 'em tall; some likes 'em small.
I ain't proud, people, I'll take anything at all
And you know where to find me: I'm at Rusty's Bar and Grille.
If you're moved to come and see me, bring a five-dollar bill.
(Semi-spoken:) Pay for your own drinks!

(Repeat first verse.)
