Lucky Streak

If the champagne was being enjoyed  
Meaning the best horse had undoubtedly   
  won  
The track was being cleared  
Or maybe another race had begun?  
 
Pictures were being taken  
Money was being handed out  
For all the winning bets  
To the people watching the race no doubt.  
 
Let's stop to think for a second  
How many races our horse had won before  
Should we enter him in another race  
Or possibly put him out to the pasture?  
 
This horse may be on a lucky streak  
Or we could lose if he fell and broke a leg  
But whatever happens  
We have to protect our winner in order to        
  enjoy another keg.
