Racehorse / Penny in the air

they say she's a racehorse
but she's just an old mare
and her folks are counting on the penny in the air
 
heads up on the way down
tails up to the fair
 
well if she's a racehorse
she's racing them there
 
they say she's a racehorse
but she's just an old mare
and her folks are counting on the penny in the air
 
heads up on the fairgrounds
tails down to the floor
 
well if she's a racehorse
she'll race a little more
 
lights out on the blacktop
she's running in the dark
and her folks are counting those pennies in the park
 
heads up for good luck
tails point at the stars
 
well if she's a racehorse
she's the best one by far
