Lyrics for Races

Well I win some races That don't mean I'm fastest And it don't mean I'm better And I ride some horses With great speed over courses It's just cause you ain't here Cause for you I could win For you I could trust myself And for you I could throw with abandon Old glories all feign to the wind Cause I never left you And you never let me go And if I can have the glory I'd give it up gladly Oh how we sucked in the limelight And left best friends behind Will you come walk beside me To the end of this story And I'll let you go gently Among your own kind, oh For you I will trust myself For you I should throw with abandon Old glories are everything to the wind Cause I never left you And you never let me go And you never let me go
