lyrics

An Opening

Roll me over your withers
Wont you carry me home?
got a heart that thunders
will the lightening ever come?
Imagine a morning, the papers said
that the long shot was gold
now we can pay for the penance
that I forgot I owed

With reckless abandon, Our hearts in our hands
I’m ranking the horses, you’re taking me in
Let up on the reins
We are racing and we’re having an opening

Get a load of this witness
turn the lights out and glow
This is all of the evidence
oh, I swear that’s all I know

With reckless abandon,
Our hearts in our hands
straight wager on blind switch
keep wrecking my plans
I know my own madness
but yours is the stretch turn
and an opening

Roll me over your withers
wont you carry me home?
I got a heart that thunders
will the lightning ever come?

With reckless abandon, our hearts in our hands
take me out in the morning, I’m aching to win
All out for the finish, we’re racing and we’re heading in
with reckless abandon, ours hearts in our hands,
take me out in the morning, I’m aching to win
all out for the finish
we’re racing and we’re having an opening
