Lynn Anderson - Run For The Roses lyrics

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 long lazy mornings in pastures of green
The sun on your withers
The wind in your mane
Could never prepare you for what lied 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
