Holdin' Me Back Songtext
von Ferraby Lionheart

I better make a note,
Seems to be easy to forget.
The bet′s getting high, and my odds are low.
Our horse took a lick, and she's running slow.

And you′re holding me back;
Yeah, you're holding me back.
I count what we've got, and you count what we lack.
And you′re hoding me back;
Yeah, you′re holding me back.
My money's all through, and you can′t leave the track.

The gates, they rushed hard;
The wind followed close behind
Too fast to review, something that's true to find.
And the corners were tied too tight to hold on;
And so I will learn what not to pin dreams upon.


And you′re holding me back;
Yeah, you're holding me back.
I count what we′ve got, and you count what we lack.
Oh, you're holding me back;
Yeah, you're holding me back.
You pull the queen, and I pull the jack.

Oh [unsure; "tender man"?], show me what you′ve become
These stables aren′t worth half of the purse you've won.
And I want to wait, I want to wait here for you
But I′ve got a race, I've got a race to get to.

And you′re hoding me back;
Yeah, you're holding me back.
I count what we′ve got, and you count what we lack.
Oh, you're holding me back;
Yeah, you're holding me back.
This losing is new, but I′m getting the knack.
This losing is new, but I′m getting the knack.
