Barely Losing Lyrics

Barely Losing by Richmond Fontaine
From the album Post To Wire
A very simple but lovely song.
This version was used to record the MP3 uploaded to
The accompaniment is a basic strumming pattern in
pairs of bars (4/4 time)
Intro: D - G - Em - C - D
A three day vacation
Three days away
The turf club race book
and I'm barely losing
while you're sitting next to me laughing
and I'm barely losing
Souvenirs we are buying
T-shirts and snow gloves
We're getting our pictures taken
Underneath the sign...
(Runs into Guitar solo)
sign...
Lounge bands we are watching
While playing video poker
And 46 ounce Margueritas
We are drinking
We're having dinner at the Santa Fe
Walking underneath the lights
We're staying on the seventh floor
Of the Fitzgerald
And we're walking along the railroad tracks
At five in the morning
Wishing we could always be like this
That we'd never have to go back...
(Runs into Guitar solo)
back...
The Turf Club race book
And I'm barely losing
While you're sitting next to me laughing
And I'm barely losing
