I had some coin, some time to kill, and I'd heard about this horse.
You guessed it! I was headed down to the local track, of course.
I read the odds, and did the math, then re-read the whole dang sheet.
If this nag comes through, like
I hope she will..Well, I'll be on easy street.
I walk up to the ticket cage, and boldly place my bet...
And dream about the future, and a new life, without debt.
I get a spot up in the stands, and settle down to wait.
'Til the handlers and the jockeys put the horses in the gate.
I hear, "They're Off"!., I spin around to see how my horse did.
She's leading at the quarter mile, Boy...I feel just like a kid!
She's still ahead and running well, as they pass the Clubhouse turn.
And my thoughts are running just as fast, 'bout the money I can burn.
As they near the wire, she picks up speed, and leaves them all behind.
She's won the race by seven lengths, and that money is all mine.
I go out on a spending spree, then find I'm in a jam.
I spent most all the money, but I'd forgotten Uncle Sam.
I've got hot wheels, a brand new house, a pool, and nice new yacht.
But, Uncle Sam has said he wants a slice of what I've bought.
My bank account is out of funds...Sam Must be paid, of course...
But, where to get the money? Wait!...I just heard about this horse...
So here I am, got twenty bucks; oh my...what should I do?
Well, I know just where I'm heading...
And I bet that you know, too...
