Well I win some races
 That don't mean I'm fastest
 And it don't mean I'm better
 Than anyone

 And I ride some horses
 With great speed over courses
 It's just cause you ain't here
 For me at the line

 [Hook]
 Cause for you I could win
 For you I could [bad word] myself
 And for you I could throw with abandon
 Old glories all feign to the wind
 Cause I never left you
 And you never let me go
 Oh

 And if I can have the glory
 I'd give it up gladly
 Oh how we sucked in the limelight
 And left best friends behind

 Will [bad word] walk beside me
 To the end of this story
 And I'll let you go gently
 Among your own kind, oh

 [Hook]

 For you I will win
 For you I will [bad word] myself
 For you I should throw with abandon
 Old glories are everything to the wind

 Cause I never left you
 And you never let me go
 And I never left you
 And you never let me go
