Run For The Roses

作词 : Dan Fogelberg

作曲 : Dan Fogelberg

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 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 unknown

That drives you and carries you home

(Chorus)
