RUN FOR THE ROSES By Dan Fogelberg 1982
You were out of the gate and taking the rail Running along with the pack Not always knowing just where you were going But making sure not to look back Rounding the corner and making a move Running ahead for the lead Putting behind you the things that might bind you And letting your spirit run free You sure did look happy to me (Twice) When you started to fade in the run for the roses You never stopped trying to win You just kept on running hoping for something To make it allright in the end You hid disappointment with no sign of tears You kept all of you dignity I wish I had told you I know what youve gone through And I say now will you see You were always a winner to me (Twice)
Although this song is primarily about Ricks father it was also lyrically inspired in part by the 1982 Dan Fogelberg Song
