Action Man

(album: Don't Tell The Band - 2001)

Willie said "he was the mostest horse"
Mahubah, Fair Play, desert mama's boy
Running in first, neither proud nor cursed
Carries the weight like a child takes to its toy

Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War

Oh, place your bets boys, get out the gate in time
Burn the books, you ain't seen nothing yet
Maybe back at that old Kentucky home
That it was luck, we'll catch him if we can

Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War

Oh, Saratoga
Graveyard of favorites
Odds are more than one hundred
Oh, Willie said
Ooh, Saratoga

Nowhere, nowhere to run
War Admiral take the highest prize
Three hundred thirty-nine little children
Working the rail, never, never look back

Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War

Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Heart of gold, bones of steel, Man-Of-War
