"RUN FOR THE ROSES"

"RUN FOR THE ROSES"

Composed By:
DAN FOGELBERG

VERSE # 01:
Born in the valley
And raised in the trees
Of Western Kentucky
On wobblely knees,
With mama beside you
To help you along,
You'll soon be
Growing up strong.

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.

VERSE # 02:
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.

VERSE # 03:
From sire to sire,
It's born in the blood,
The fire of a mare
And the strength of a stud.
It's breeding,
It's training,
And it's something unknown
That drives you
And carries you home.
