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 and pastures of green The sun on your withers, the wind in your mane Who'll never prepare you for what lies ahead The run for the rose is so rare And it's a 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 star It's breeding, and it's training, and it's something unknown That drives you and carries you home And it's a 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 Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here Here
