Lyrics : Hollywood Park
A73-581 was the number, they burned it in my brain
I could feel it in my veins
We could run, we could run, we could run
We were running away
And the fourteen dollars I made on the bus ride from Chino
I laid on the third
He was due and I was due
For a change, for a change, I’m tired of living a lie
And they were writing their names up in the sky
And we would watch them as they brought the horses by
And I felt like I was ready to die
When the bell went off and the races would start at Hollywood Park
For fifteen years I had lived in a room with my heart on my sleeve
My throat dry from heaving the words:
You can change, you can change
If you’re ready to try
And we would laugh as the horses thundered by
And I would tip my brand new hat up to the sky
And nothing could come between you and I
As the horses ran wild through the dark at Hollywood Park
And when they tore it down, there was wrecking sound
And it rattled through my bones
And a cry went out through the streets that night
‘Cause we knew we’d lost our home
I could feel it in my veins
We could run, we could run, we could run
We were running away
And the fourteen dollars I made on the bus ride from Chino
I laid on the third
He was due and I was due
For a change, for a change, I’m tired of living a lie
And they were writing their names up in the sky
And we would watch them as they brought the horses by
And I felt like I was ready to die
When the bell went off and the races would start at Hollywood Park
For fifteen years I had lived in a room with my heart on my sleeve
My throat dry from heaving the words:
You can change, you can change
If you’re ready to try
And we would laugh as the horses thundered by
And I would tip my brand new hat up to the sky
And nothing could come between you and I
As the horses ran wild through the dark at Hollywood Park
And when they tore it down, there was wrecking sound
And it rattled through my bones
And a cry went out through the streets that night
‘Cause we knew we’d lost our home
