Lipstick Traces (Darin Barney)

It’s win, place or show
At the Hastings Park races
And 18-to-1
On Lipstick Traces

She came outta the gate
Like an innocent man outta jail
But as she turned for home
They had her boxed-in on the rail

She crossed the line
In a great flash of silver
They bred her to run
But it never fulfilled her

So she threw her rider
And he fell from a great height
And she took a pass
On the Winner’s Circle tonight

He can’t recall names
Or remember faces
But he can’t forget
Those lipstick traces

That ran from her lips
Onto the back of his hand
The night he came home from the track
And found her like that

You bet your life
It’s a two-dollar wager
And it might come in
But it won’t erase her

The Parade to the Post
There’s a filly that’s just off the pace
And something about her
Reminds him of a lipstick trace
