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 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
