Текст Dan Fogelberg – 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 a-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 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
