So bartender set me up with the triple crown
Double ain't enough when I'm feelin' this down
I'll celebrate the misfortune I've found
With my own version of the triple crown

Well I'd gone to the racetrack to place my bet
Saw my Ex-Wife and her new boyfriend
Layin' down some money on the long-shot horse
Using her alimony from our divorce

I won some money at the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes
The Kentucky Derby was the very next race
Put it all on "Lucky In Love"
He stumbled at the gate and he never got up

So bartender set me up with the triple crown
Double ain't enough when I'm feelin' this down
I'll celebrate the misfortune I've found
With my own version of the triple crown

When It comes to the ponies I can pick 'em pretty well
But if you're bettin' on a woman, son you never can tell
Think you got a winner that'll stay in the race
And you find yourself settlin' for second place

So bartender set me up with the triple crown
Double ain't enough when I'm feelin' this down
I'll celebrate the misfortune I've found
With my own version of the triple crown
