Anderson, Lynn - 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

    As of 2019 it's been said that 50-60% of marriages end up in divorce. Those who remain are unhappy except for maybe 5-10%. It's no wonder the millennials are holding off or not getting married at all. So sad. But why would any reasonably minded person get married in today's age when it's so easy to pull the ejection seat?

  12. j.... ....

    I love the musical accompaniment to this song - very well done with great crescendos mixed in and just a general hip flavor to it. Of course, Lynn did a fantastic job with this song also.

  13. I.... H....

    I love this song, it's beautiful!!!!❤❤❤

  38. M.... F....

    A fantastic song I will never will get tired of. Brings back so many memories, me and my girl together then, and still together now, just a little bit older. A timeless song that will never die. One of the best ever

  39. S.... A....

    Yes, waste more time.
    AliExpress purchases, when the seller decides to send faulty factory reject goods.
    After intentionally being sent faulty phones, I'm supposed to take a video. You only do that if the seller unintentionally send you faulty phones. I don't give a toss what the reason is. You have created yet another setback. Your problem, not mine. If I don't receive a full refund, then I'll only be speaking to people when absolutely necessary.

  40. J.... B....

    Semper Fi . . . you know why . . .

  41. P.... P....

    Remember this song in the 70s. Gosh, Lynn Anderson. What a beauty. Great voice!

  53. T.... A....

    Gotta dance to this

  54. M.... C....

    Gd old tune she had a great voice

  55. S.... A....

    This was back in time when I was at primary school being bullied everyday for being a c*cks*cker. I didn't promise you a rose garden, but I promised to swallow instead.

  56. G.... H....

    You know, we all have our moments of greatness. They eventually fad away.
    Sad huh?

  57. G.... H....

    Are those the proper moves for that song?

  58. f.... g....

    belle chanson

  59. K.... F....

    Trumps campaign song

  60. D.... b....

    Leuke muziek tijdtje

  61. J.... D....

    zombie dancers lol

  62. T.... B....

    My daughter doesn't understand how much This woman influenced her. I am so glad Lynn seeped into her soul. She hates I didn't lie and tell her life was My Little Pony Land all full of sparkles. Now that she is an adult? We shall see.

  63. A.... S....

    lynn is hot!

  64. j.... p....

    Sadly Gone. But not forgotten. Rest in peace.

  65. B.... J....

    She was such a success in the 70s and sadly just couldn't lick her issues with alcohol!! She also had a ton of great "Country" hits!!

    B.... J....

    She was Billboard's Artist of the Decade 70-80. Huge star in her day. In spite of her struggle with alcohol in later life, she was still a favorite concert attraction right up til the end and released a new album to rave reviews only a month before she passed at 67, in 2015.

  66. B.... ....

    Alcohol ruined her life like it has so many other people.

    B.... ....

    She did battle alcoholism in her later life, but I wouldn't say it "ruined it." She was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2004 - 34 years after winning one. She still headlining decent sized, mainstream venues right up 'til the end and released an album to rave reviews only a month before she passed. Point taken; however, it was a struggle in the latter part of her life - a very public battle.

  67. t.... ....

    a song written for a man to woman sung by a woman - fucked up ~

  68. L.... M....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  69. B.... 4....

    She was fit!

  70. I.... S....

    No tits hanging out, no arse twerking, no acres of bare skin.
    Just a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. No gimmicks needed.

  71. A.... j....

    I was in pre school when this song came out

  72. K.... ....

    The song that they were too lazy to think of an ending for. Personally I'd have repeated the intro as an ending.

  73. W.... ....

    Some songs never die like Neil Young's song "Rock & Roll will never die"

  74. T.... ....

    People who sing about roses don't realize how thorny they are. Lay down in a bed of rose bushes some time and find out what they are really like.

    T.... ....

    Ha! Stupid people! They also sing about something called "love".
