lyrics

Take the Green Line out to Hawthorne for the 2nd race
Hit a cold trifecta, at a wicked pace

With 600 bones and a bottle of Jack
A clean hotel room, I’m not ever going back

Here come the madness
Here come the storm

2 hot showers, a chicken fried steak
Hoof it down to Hody’s, got the devil in the wake

Just biding my time in a comfortable stool
Some sugar slinks over, we start acting a fool

She takes my hand, gives me the eye
On another trip down the River Why

Here come the madness
Here come the storm
Just getting going
Don’t mean any harm
Don’t mean any harm

[SOLOS]

6’5” Kentucky with a cracked black tooth
Looks me up and over, then we walk to his booth

Sets his steel on the table, eyebrow a twitching
Says that Maggie’s his lady and his finger is itching

She made the move, didn’t have a ring
With God as my witness, it didn’t mean a thing

It’s not about honor, not about pride
Just don’t want to rush it to the other side

Here come the madness
Here come the storm

Dodge another bullet by hugging the rail
A few broken bones, but only one night in jail

With a little more slide and a little less skid
I’ll be sowing my oats like Lemon Drop Kid

[ Chorus]
