He's got the look of eagles
All bets are in
His odds are low
And this he knows
He needs a quick strip push off the post
Sweat on his brow
An anxious crowd
Hoofs on the dirt with a 3-to-1
A final ride to show his worth
One by one to shake 'em up another pony down
One by one he takes the lead to please a screaming crowd
Fast out the gate he ain't stopping
Move out his way he's the kingpin
Ahhh
King pin
He's in the money now
Ahhh
King pin
He's in the money now
He rode this race and held his place in the run (king pin)
The gates are down, they're on the ground, they start in 3 2 1 go
Around the turn he feels the burn of the Sun (king pin)
The odds are lost all bets are off they start in 3 2 1 go
He used to be a pauper
In the sport of kings
His time is now
The final round
He's got his head down to the triple crown
They start to stare
He's catching air
He pulls ahead
He's on a dead end through the final bend
One by one to shake 'em up another pony down
One by one he takes the lead to please a screaming crowd
Fast out the gate he ain't stopping
Move out his way he's the kingpin
Ahhh
King pin
He's in the money now
Ahhh

Lay your money down
This is the sound of fame and fortune
Lay your money down
This is the crown that frames the horsemen
Down the stretch with nothing left
He's pushing past the rest
Down the stretch with nothing left
He's pushing past the rest
Ahhh
King pin
He's in the money now
