Run For The Roses Lyrics - Singles - Fogelberg Dan

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 -- 

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 --
