Hey you little wreck over there
Have I got news for you
The walls up in my room are pretty cold
Oh can you feel it
Like a bat after nightfall

Who will crack a good joke
Who is ready to smile
Who will crack a good joke
Who is ready to try

[Chorus:]

My downhill race
You said it's got no end
Count down the days
You said this had to wait

You poor little thing over there
I play the blues for you
And in case you one day will show up
I'm armed and ready
All the criminals will be locked up

Who will crack a good joke
And is ready to smile
Who will crack a good joke
Who is ready to try

[Chorus]

So many many ways
More than I can take
My downhill race
Boy I love this downhill race

Women in the back
And I'm just about to drown
Well, crying is illegal
'cause she said so
and you said so
and I was standing on the other side

[Chorus]

So many many ways
And that's more than I can take
My downhill race
Boy I love this downhill race
My downhill race
And I love this downhill race
Count down the days
Boy I love this downhill race
My downhill race
So many many ways
My downhill race
I love that downhill race
