Kris Kristofferson - The Race текст песни

The race is harder than arithmatic
Some will say it can't be won
So it gets harder when your shoes are snake ( Not sure of this lyric)
But I had set my mind to run.

But it was harder than I bargined for
Broken dreams at evey turn
I had hard enough to almost make it through
And a lesson yet to learn.

I slipped at fell before the finish line
Just when it seemed I couldn't loose
I can fall anytime you want me too
You are the shit beneath my shoe.
