I was an orphan, baby, nobody told me what to do.
I was a refugee, hey man, I was so confused.
Chasin' my ass, watchin' the wheels spinnin' 'round and 'round.
Just wastin' time, pushin' papers in the lost and the found.
Got so excited, I was enlightened on Derby Day.
Hey, and through the bleachers,
The paupers and the preachers wanna take us away.
Sometimes I drink whiskey, sometimes I drink wine.
One night I had a little bit of both, I had a hell of a time.
If I don't wake up tomorrow baby, it'll be the (?) life of crime (?)
While the walls come down, here the choir singing (?) oh dang Sam (?)
(?) Oh dang, Sam! (?)
Got so excited, I was enlightened on Derby Day.
Hey, and through the bleachers,
The paupers, the preachers wanna take us away.
On top of Old Smokey, just a-covered in blood.
Check out the people, they look just like bugs.
You're a big girl now, but don't you let it go to your head.
Aw, here come the fakers,
The police and the papers, we'll be local celebs.
Got so excited, I was enlightened on Derby Day.
Through the bleachers, the paupers, the preachers wanna take us away.
Take us away!
