Long Shot Songtext
von Goodnight, Texas

I′m a long shot baby
A long shot is what I am
I'm a long shot baby
A long shot is what I am

Well, my mane′s gone gray but but legs ain't tired
And I can run much faster than anybody says I can

I'm a long shot baby
A long shot is what I been
I′m a long shot baby
Been shootin′ since I don't know when
Don′t put your money on another horse, son
I ain't gonna be one of those twenty-seven also rans


Seems to me there must be some mistake, I don′t know where
You got it all wrong, but on the other hand I don't care
I wanna take my time before I get blue in the face
Cut the shit, we both know it, it′s a long race

Well, I'm a shortstop baby, a shortstop is what I'll be
I′m a shortstop baby and a shortstop is what I′ll be
I can shuffle-step side to side, legs down, open wide
Side-spitting, knocking down every ground ball I see

Seems to me you got a little trouble with the play by play
You got the wrong idea 'bout every other word I say
I wanna call time out and fiddle with my batting gloves
It ain′t just good defense that everyone loves

I'm a long shot baby
A long shot is what I am
I′m a long shot baby
A long shot is what I am


Well, my mane's gone gray but but legs ain′t tired
And I can run much faster than anybody says I can
I wanna take my time before I get blue in the face
Aw come on, we both know it, it's a long race
