She said run away with me, I'll take you for a ride
I said yippee ki oh ki-yay! I'll give you every dime
I had no premonition of remorse
Bettin' on a faster horse
So I tied the reigns to her back porch
And jumped into her bed
A man burst in with an angry grin
His eyes were burning red
Apparently she'd exaggerated her divorce
Bettin' on a faster horse
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Sometimes you just don't care
Promises are made of lies and words are made of air
Sometimes it's best not to reveal your source
When you're bettin' on a faster horse
Lobotomied economies all hail that bottom line
"I don't care if you're gettin' yours
I'm just gettin' mine"
Wise men jump off where fools stay the course
Bettin' on a faster horse
Some people use diplomacy while others turn to force
Some folks say just leave it be and let it run its course
A philosophy I heartily endorse
Bettin' on a faster horse
