Fastest Horse in Town

I've been wastin' all my best days

I've invested all my worst ways

I've been thinkin' about all the things I should have never left behind

Ought to be watchin' the children play

In the yard I never see, I should be mowin' today

Instead of searchin' for ways to say all the words I can't find

Everybody's tryin' to be the next someone

But look at me, I'm tryin' to be the first something

Back when dollars made sense

Had to keep the squirrels off the fence

And shoes are comin' loose on the fastest horse in town

But that old horse just keeps on runnin'

And if he falls, they'll put him down

Them men keepin' him out on the track

Runnin' him ragged just to pile up the stacks

And make him so he's all spent by the time he gets back

Everybody's tryin' to be the next someone

Look at me, I'm tryin' to be the first something

Look at me, I'm tryin' to be the first something

Everybody's tryin' to be the next someone

Look at me, I'm tryin' to be the first something

Look at me, I'm tryin' to be the first something
