Run For The Roses lyrics
by Dan Fogelberg



Born in the valley and raised in the trees

Of western Kentucky on wobbly knees

With mamma beside you to help you along

You'll soon be a-growin' up strong.



All the long, lazy mornings in pastures of

Green, the sun on your withers, the wind in

Your mane, could never prepare you for what

Lies ahead. The run for the roses so red.



Chorus:

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 un-

Known that drives you and carries you home.



(Chorus)
