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'growin' up strong



Oh, 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



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
