Run For The Roses 가사

Seems like everyone I know Longs for the good life The smell of sweet success That they call happiness We keep our score with notches On our silver belts But torn and tattered sleeves Can hide nobilities But it's the people that we treasure The moments we define That gives us every reason To cross the finish line Every day we run for the roses Every passing hour we reach for victory But when we count up all the gold Well it's the same old story told On the last page we will find our legacy Oh oh we run for the roses Every day I rise To hear the voices telling me Don't be the runner up Go claim the loving cup So I keep on moving on The only way I know Charging straight ahead Just like a thoroughbred But it's the riches that we share With family and friends The love that flows between us That matters in the end Every day we run for the roses Every passing hour we reach for victory But when the final vote is cast And we see ourselves at last We pray we like the portrait that we see Oh oh we run for the roses Oh oh we run I knew a man whose only goal Was fame and fortune There in the spotlight's glow He sacrificed his soul So he found himself alone Without what matters most And that's the love he sought Not the battles fought Somewhere east of Eden There at journey's end It's love alone that saves us I promise you my friend Every day we run for the roses Every passing hour we reach for victory Into this world we're tossed Till the final bridge is crossed Where it all remains the greatest mystery Oh oh still we run for the roses Oh oh we run Oh oh we run for the roses Oh oh we run Oh oh we run for the roses We run
