Run for The Roses — текст песни (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

Youll 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 its run for the roses

As fast as you can

Your fate is delivered

Your moments at hand

Its the chance of a lifetime

In a lifetime of chance

And its high time you joined

In the dance

Its high time you joined

In the dance --



From sire to sire

Its born in the blood

The fire of a mare

And the strength of a stud

Its breeding and its training

And its something unknown

That drives you and carries

You home.



And its run for the roses

As fast as you can

Your fate is delivered

Your moments at hand

Its the chance of a lifetime

In a lifetime of chance

And its high time you joined

In the dance

Its high time you joined

In the dance --
