One Of The Horses Way

The sound is like a stampede coming for you,
While your money comes and goes.
'Go you good thing!' is the only thing you here,
But it sometimes changes, who knows.
Beer, soft drink, chips and the rest,
Are the only good thing to eat wile you are there.
Here they come around the bend,
Everyone stops to yell and stare.
Everyone knows about it,
Even if they don't believe or like it.
It's the Horse Races of course,
Betting, gambling or just watching a horse.
