The Race - Kris Kristofferson Lyrics

Kris Kristofferson Lyrics Kris Kristofferson Chords

The Race

The race is harder than arithmetic.
Some'll say it can't be won.
It gets harder when your shoes are slick.
But I had set my mind to run.
It was harder than I'd bargained for.
Broken dreams at every turn.
I had heart enough to almost make it through.
And a lesson yet to learn.
I slipped and fell before the finish line,
Just when it seemed I couldn't lose.
I can fall any time you want me to.
You are the shit beneath my shoes.
