Run For The Roses

Born in the valley And raised in the trees Of Western Kentucky On wobbly knees With Mama beside you To help you along You'll soon be a growing up strong All long lazy mornings In pastures of green The sun on your withers The wind in your mane Could never prepare you For what lied ahead The run for the roses so red And it's run for the roses As fast as you can Your fate is delivered Your moment's at hand It's the chance of a lifetime In a lifetime of chance And it's high time you joined in the dance It's high time you joined in the dance From sire to sire It's born in the blood The fire of a mare And the strength of a stud It's breeding and it's training And it's something unknown That drives you and carries you home And it's run for the roses As fast as you can Your fate is delivered Your moment's at hand It's the chance of a lifetime In a lifetime of chance And it's high time you joined in the dance It's high time you joined in the dance
