The Race Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

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.
