I could right and end up at the racetrack
Or I could go left and come home to you
If I go right there's money to be making
And if I go left its just me and you
Mondays at the racetrack everybody's happy
Everybody's gambling and parlaying along
And when we win, man, we know that we earned it
And when we lose, well, that ain't wrong
I could right and end up at the racetrack
I could go left and come home to you
If I go right there's money to be making
If I go left its just me and you
Because pain, it comes in many dresses
Some you can put on
Some are in the air
Pain from gambling
It's a great distraction
From the real pain
That you can't share
I could right and end up at the racetrack
Or I could go left and come home to you
If I go right there's money to be making
If I go left its just me and you
When I get back Lucinda's waiting
She's so happy just because I'm home
And there's a big horse in the next race
And I'm grateful not to have to roam anymore
I could right and end up at the racetrack
Or I could go left and come home to you
If I go right there's money to be making
And if I go left its just me and you
