Run For The Roses Lyrics - Fall 1989: The Long Island Sound - Jerry Garcia Band

Run, run, run for the roses 

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes 

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine 

All good things in all good time 

Reach for the sun, catch hold of the moon 

They're both too heavy but what can you do? 

Reach for the stars, smack into the sky 

You don't want to live but you're chicken to die 

Oh, you're chicken to die 

Run, run, run for the roses 

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes 

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine 

All good things in all good time 

Run for the money, caught short on the rent 

Big ideas but the cash's all spent 

The trouble with love is its other face 

You just want the club but you don't want the race 

No, you don't want the race 

Run, run, run for the roses 

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes 

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine 

All good things in all good time 

Run for the rose, get caught on the briar 

You're warming to love, next thing, there's a fire 

You got the do re, I got the mi 

And I got the notion, we're all at sea 

Yes, we're all at sea 

Run, run, run for the roses 

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes 

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine 

All good things in all good time 

Run, run, run for the roses 

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes 

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine 

All good things in all good time 

Run, run, run for the roses 

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes 

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine 

All good things in all good time 

All good things in all good time
